Summary
Mikhail Hayhoe is a Principal Data Scientist based in Philadelphia with 11 years of experience applying machine learning, generative AI, and optimization to high-impact problems in industry and academia. He holds a PhD in Electrical and Systems Engineering and has a proven track record of translating cutting-edge research—such as hyper-graph learning frameworks and ultra-fast blockchain transaction selection algorithms—into scalable production solutions. At Amgen he bridges research and product delivery, combining rigorous probabilistic guarantees with practical engineering to accelerate data-driven decisions. He has led and mentored large cohorts of students and researchers, built end-to-end predictive systems for public-health interventions, and engineered C++ and Python algorithms that delivered multi-hundred-percent performance gains in revenue and accuracy. Notably, his work spans both deep learning and classical algorithm design, enabling him to optimize systems from model architecture to database performance.
