Summary
Chirag Nagpal is a Senior AI Research Scientist based in San Francisco with a PhD from Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science and about five years of industry research experience. He blends classical statistical methods—graphical models, causal inference, and survival analysis—with modern deep learning, producing practical advances in machine learning for healthcare and responsible AI. His internships at Google Brain, IBM TJ Watson, and a summer at J.P. Morgan seeded publications on survival regression and Bayesian consensus methods, and he later moved into LLM alignment and post-training work at Google and Meta. He’s comfortable taking ideas from theory to deployment, evidenced by papers like Deep Cox Mixtures and cross-disciplinary projects that address uncertainty in real-world forecasts. Colleagues know him for bridging rigorous probabilistic thinking with pragmatic engineering to improve model reliability in high-stakes domains.
