Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOleg Sofrygin is a senior applied scientist in San Francisco with 12 years of experience specializing in causal inference on networks, statistical efficiency theory, and high-performance machine learning for large-scale health data. He combines rigorous academic training (PhD in Biostatistics from UC Berkeley) with applied work at Kaiser Permanente and Uber, developing open-source statistical software and cutting-edge estimators that bridge theory and production. His work spans deep-learning NLP on EMRs, adversarial and meta-learning approaches to improve estimator performance, and efficient computation for network-dependent data. Known for translating semi-parametric causal methods into practical tools, he brings uncommon depth in both mathematical foundations and scalable implementation.
