Efthymios Tzinis is a senior research scientist at Google with nine years of experience specializing in audio-visual perception, sound separation, and on-device audio generation for Pixel devices. He earned a PhD in Computer Science from UIUC and previously contributed research at MERL and Meta Reality Labs, with a past Google PhD Fellowship recognizing his work. Efthymios has a strong track record of turning cutting-edge research into deployable features, leading a team that prototypes and ships new audio models for mobile inference. His background blends deep academic rigor with practical ML engineering—he has repeatedly improved state-of-the-art source separation methods and built robust testable codebases during multiple Google internships. Based in Cambridge, MA, he brings both systems-level thinking and hands-on experimentation, often exploring unsupervised and multimodal approaches that reduce reliance on labeled data.
