Top SchoolAvani Wildani is the Head of AI Research at Cloudflare and a research-driven leader with 12 years of experience at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and neuroscience. Trained as a computer scientist with a PhD from UC Santa Cruz and an MS in Machine Learning, she blends distributed storage and formal-systems expertise with computational neuroscience to model how the brain encodes and retrieves information. Her career spans academia (assistant professor at Emory), elite labs (Salk Institute), and industrial research leadership, where she has led teams in networking, cryptography, and privacy-aware AI. Avani publishes actively (see her Google Scholar) and runs a lab exploring neural information as a storage problem—an approach that uniquely ties observable neural metrics to system-level design principles. Based in San Francisco, she is hiring postdocs and graduate students with backgrounds in neural networks or computational neuroscience.
