Ming Shen is a machine learning engineer with six years of experience bridging academic research and applied ML, currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Arizona State University after earning an MS from USC and a BS from WPI. He has multiple applied scientist internships at AWS where he worked on production-relevant ML problems, and contributes to open-source healthcare ML tooling such as PyHealth, implementing and evaluating models like tLSTM and ResNet18 on MIMIC for mortality prediction. Ming combines deep learning model development, experimental workflow engineering, and rigorous dataset handling—skills honed through iterative notebook-driven experiments and real-world deployments. Based in Tempe, he brings both strong research foundations and practical engineering discipline to healthcare and production ML systems.
