Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKarima Ma is a PhD student at MIT with 11 years of industry and research experience spanning applied machine learning, computer vision, and full-stack systems. She has combined academic rigor from Dartmouth and Carnegie Mellon with hands-on internships at Facebook/FAIR and research roles at CMU, developing DSLs for visual question answering and optimizing image-processing deep learning pipelines. Based in Berkeley, she brings a rare blend of production engineering (full-stack multimedia services, encrypted cloud storage) and quantitative modeling (credit risk analytics that improved AUC at OnDeck). Her work sits at the intersection of research and deployment—translating novel ML ideas into scalable code and measurable product impact. An ability to navigate both policy-oriented environments (U.S. Treasury) and fast-moving AI labs suggests strong communication and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills.
