Top SchoolJoseph Derose is a Senior AI Research Engineer based in the New York City area with eight years of experience applying NLP, data visualization, and deep learning to make language models more explainable and usable. At AlphaSense he has led development of Retrieval-Augmented Generation, hybrid and vector search, and production LLM features such as summarization, NER, and assistant chat. His academic work spans Columbia and Vanderbilt, where he bridged NLP and visualization for drug discovery and scalable graph tooling—skills reflected in a history of building practical researcher-facing tools. Known for translating research into deployable systems, he combines rigorous MS-level CS training with hands-on experience shipping language-model-backed search products for enterprise users. An under-the-radar strength is his background in bioinformatics and graph-centric tooling, which informs his systematic approach to model interpretability and data representation.
