Summary
Mohammad Aghagolzadeh is a Director of Artificial Intelligence & Data Science with a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and over a decade of experience turning research-grade perception and ML into production systems. He has led AI transformation at Walgreens, building an enterprise-scale assistant with continual ingestion, semantic chunking, retrieval-augmented generation, and rigorous post-generation validation to serve thousands of store and corporate users. Prior roles include leading HD-mapping perception at HERE Technologies and pure-vision SLAM for autonomous robots at Sharp Labs, reflecting deep expertise across lidar/camera fusion, deep nets, and real-time ML deployment. Comfortable across research and engineering, he has shipped forecasting, recommendation and NLP pipelines on Azure and Kubernetes and emphasizes automated CI/CD, monitoring, and feedback-driven model improvements. A detail that often surprises colleagues: he pairs theoretical foundations in compressed sensing and dictionary learning with hands-on productionization of low-latency, scalable AI systems.
