Summary
Dhruv Agarwal is a Machine Learning Engineer with eight years of experience bridging research and product engineering, currently at Adobe in San Diego. He combines deep learning research—especially self-supervised methods for 4D single-cell imaging—with practical ML systems work, having contributed to text-to-video generation and structure-conditioned diffusion models. His background spans robotics and automation (autonomous warehouse vehicles and vision-based volume estimation) and full-stack development, reflecting a rare mix of lab-grade research and production engineering. Notably, his PhD-level-style research at UC San Diego Health produced rich embeddings to interpret drug-induced mitochondrial phenotypes, accelerating drug discovery workflows. He has a track record of turning novel models into deployable pipelines, recognized by awards such as Best Intern Poster at Adobe Firefly. Always exploring new technologies, he actively ports research ideas into applied products across biotech, creative AI, and supply-chain automation.
