Top SchoolIssam Laradji is a senior research leader with 13 years of experience at the intersection of computer vision, NLP, graphics, and optimization, currently serving as Sr Manager Fundamental Research Scientist at ServiceNow and an Adjunct Professor at UBC. He progressed through roles from research intern to manager within ServiceNow Research, blending deep academic rigor (PhD in Computer Science from UBC) with product-minded research that targets real-world applications. His work spans foundational ML methods and applied systems, and he has held postdoctoral positions at Mila and McGill collaborating with top researchers on vision and optimization. Known for moving ideas from papers to production, he balances publishing and mentoring with delivering research that informs product roadmaps.
