Top School
Nikunj Goel is a Senior AI Applied Research Scientist with nine years of experience turning high-frequency sensor data and messy telemetry into actionable engineering insights for aerospace and consumer products. At Joby Aviation he built and scaled real-time analytics and agentic LLM systems for flight-test operations, bridged research-to-production ML workflows, and applied physics-informed neural nets to approximate CFD for rotor and airframe design. His background spans healthcare sensing, large-scale gaming analytics for millions of users, and NLP research on human-rights text—demonstrating breadth across time-series, multimodal, and language models. He is fluent in PyTorch/TensorFlow, LangChain, Spark/Kafka, Docker/Kubernetes, and cloud GPUs, and routinely benchmarks and fine-tunes open-weight models for safety-critical contexts. Colleagues rely on him to translate ambiguous, high-stakes problems into interpretable, maintainable systems that deliver measurable ROI. Outside work he experiments regularly—whether with anomaly-detection approaches or perfecting a cocktail recipe—reflecting a practical curiosity that fuels incremental innovation.
