Summary
Kushagra Gupta is an applied scientist with eight years of experience applying statistical modeling and machine learning to real-world problems across chip design, ads, autonomous driving, and public health. A Stanford MS in Statistics and an IIT Kanpur math background ground his curiosity about how simple statistical ideas scale into sophisticated solutions, evidenced by JMLR and Bayesian Analysis publications. At Cadence he led R&D efforts automating chip design and earned internal High Impact and Rising Star awards; he now helps Faire grow its Ads team from 1 to 100. Industrial internships at Google, Nissan, and the World Bank demonstrate his ability to move prototypes into production and policy-relevant analysis alike. He has a track record of engineering performance-critical code (e.g., optimizing MCMC utilities during Google Summer of Code) and a knack for turning domain constraints into tractable ML solutions. Based in Palo Alto, he seeks challenging data science problems where statistics-driven simplicity unlocks complex systems.
