Senior🎓
Top SchoolMourad Sarrouti is a Senior Applied Scientist and IDP tech lead with eight years' experience building production NLP and deep learning systems across healthcare, biopharma, and insurance. He combines hands-on model development (from NER and relation extraction to VQA and LLM-driven pipelines) with product delivery—having led intelligent document processing services and end-to-end target identification pipelines for drug discovery. A prolific researcher and reviewer (30+ publications, multiple fellowships and awards, and committee roles in ACL BioNLP), he has translated cutting-edge models like T5, GPT-3.5/4, SciBERT and BioBERT into real-world solutions such as fact-checking, social-media listening for drug safety, and document reranking that improved retrieval over BM25. Based in New York, he is comfortable bridging academic rigor and enterprise impact, mentoring teams while driving measurable stakeholder value.
