Emily Glanz is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building federated learning infrastructure on Google’s federated learning and analytics team. She combines an electrical engineering background (B.S.E., University of Iowa, high distinction) with practical ML engineering—contributing to TensorFlow Federated by implementing and testing aggregation primitives such as federated min/max and sampling. Her early research work on genomic ML and class-imbalance techniques (SMOTE) informs a pragmatic approach to real-world data challenges in decentralized settings. Emily has taught CS to high school students and served as a TA, demonstrating an ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and mentor others. Based in the Greater Seattle Area, she bridges research and production, shipping robust, test-driven features that advance open-source federated learning toolkits.
