Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Nazarov is an AI research scientist with 11+ years of experience bridging applied data science and rigorous machine learning research, now based in Barcelona. He holds a PhD in applied mathematics and computer science and has contributed to topics from GAN-based steganography and complex-valued network sparsification to Hessian-based pruning and decentralized anomaly detection. Ivan has led industrial collaborations for Huawei, Bosch, Airbus and Sber, producing reproducible, production-minded solutions in signal predistortion, audio diagnostics for respiratory illness, and operations-research applications of ML/RL. At the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute he helped deliver the NeurIPS 2021 NetHack Challenge winning system and advances in interpretable hierarchical RL and contrastive event-sequence learning. He combines advanced Python and C/Cython engineering with Torch and JAX to make research reproducible and deployable, and advocates devops practices for experimental science. Colleagues describe him as a methodical researcher who treats papers as verifiable narratives—driven by careful ablation, principled evaluation, and thoughtful comparison to prior work.
