Marianne Arriola is a PhD student and research intern specializing in diffusion language models, focused on parallel-token generation that improves quality, speed, and training efficiency. With six years of research experience spanning NVIDIA, Runway, MIT CSAIL, Caltech, and UC Santa Barbara, she bridges vision, graph, and protein-structure ML techniques to tackle cross-modal and scalable modeling challenges. Her recent work includes adapting autoregressive vision–language models into state-of-the-art diffusion VL models and contributing to deep learning efficiency research at NVIDIA. Based in the NYC metro area, she combines strong academic rigor with applied research instincts and a track record of translating geometric and biological insights into robust model architectures.
