Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErhan Bas is Head of Foundational AI at GE HealthCare with 11 years of experience building multimodal and generative AI systems that bridge research and production. He has led cross-functional teams at Scale AI and AWS-AI Labs to deliver high-throughput multimodal foundational models for eCommerce, content moderation, and RLHF data pipelines, achieving measurable gains like halving human supervision and >0.9 F1 on large attribute taxonomies. His background spans academic-grade computer vision and statistical signal processing work—from mapping whole-brain neuronal arbors at Janelia to scalable segmentation and stitching of terabyte-scale imagery—to industrial imaging and defect detection at GE. Erhan combines deep technical breadth (PhD-level research in ECE) with product-focused MLops, AutoML and evaluation tooling that make models robust in noisy, real-world datasets. He’s notable for translating cutting-edge research into deployed services that improve downstream business metrics such as search conversion and catalog quality. Based in Seattle, he’s equally comfortable mentoring researchers and driving cross-organizational engineering programs to productionize foundational AI.
