Summary
Dhruv Singal is a Research Scientist based in Mountain View and a PhD candidate in Finance at Columbia Business School who blends rigorous academic asset-pricing research with production-grade ML and systems engineering. He has moved between industry and academia—research roles at Meta, X (Moonshot Factory), CFM, Adobe, and experience building solutions at NVIDIA and Baseten—delivering reproducible empirical work, efficient algorithms, and production-ready codebases. His strengths lie at the intersection of macro-finance, data science, and scalable model deployment, turning complex statistical models into robust systems. Notably, he pairs formal econometric rigor from his PhD with practical experience shipping ML infrastructure in fast-paced labs, making him equally comfortable with theoretical identification and engineering tradeoffs.
