Kaushalya Madhawa is a research engineer specializing in AI for science and healthcare, with 11 years of experience building machine learning models and production ML pipelines. Based in Tokyo, he has advanced domain-specific LLMs and multimodal health applications at The University of Tokyo and now works on AI4Science at SB Intuitions. His background includes deep learning for medical imaging, ML-Ops, model compression (quantization/pruning), and a granted patent for molecular graph generation from his time at Preferred Networks. He combines rigorous academic training—a Ph.D. in AI from Tokyo Institute of Technology—with hands-on startup and industry practice, shipping systems from concept to regulated healthcare settings. Comfortable across research and engineering, he often bridges novel model architectures and practical deployment, and has a track record of improving prediction accuracy through inventive data augmentation and pipeline design. An understated but recurring theme in his career is translating cutting-edge research into deployable tools that handle large, real-world datasets.
