Staff Machine Learning Research Engineer at Zendar
Berkeley, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Kellman is a Staff Machine Learning Research Engineer with 11 years of experience at the intersection of electrical engineering, signal processing, and data-driven machine learning. He holds a PhD from UC Berkeley and has applied large-scale inverse problem techniques to reconstruct high-dimensional image data in medical imaging and microscopy, then translated that expertise into industry roles at Zendar. Michael designs optimization- and statistics-driven methods to improve experimental design and signal priors for computational imaging systems, combining theory with practical engineering to deliver robust, production-ready models. A collaborative communicator based in Berkeley, he has moved between academia (UCSF, UC Berkeley) and industry (Google, Fitbit) while mentoring teams and elevating cross-disciplinary projects. Less obvious: he repeatedly bridges hands-on systems work and foundational research, from mentorship and lab teaching to leading ML research engineering at a startup focused on real-world environmental sensing. His personal research portfolio is available at mrkellman.com.
