Ivan Lobov is a Staff Research Engineer with 11 years of experience building large-scale ML systems, currently working on Gemini Text Diffusion at Google DeepMind. He transitioned from journalism into machine learning and specializes in combinatorial optimization, graph neural networks, and productionizing research for real-world impact. At DeepMind he led a team creating LLM-powered tools for chip design and was a core developer of NeuralDiving, a neural approach that outperformed classical solvers inside Google. Previously at Criteo he engineered billion-scale graph and SVD pipelines that powered cross-client recommendations and open-sourced a highly scalable SVD implementation. Based in Paris, he blends deep research instincts with pragmatic engineering and a track record of turning experimental models into deployed systems.
