Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPrateek Yadav is a Senior Research Scientist with a decade of experience at the intersection of continual learning, sparsity, and modular AI, currently contributing to DeepMind after research roles at UNC Chapel Hill, Meta, and internships across Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and AWS. His PhD work focuses on making deep models generalize across domains by leveraging memory, mixture-of-experts, and efficient sparse mechanisms, with prior research spanning interpretability, compositional reasoning, graph/hypergraph methods, uncertainty estimation, and Bayesian temporal modeling. He has a strong applied track record—developing continual learning for code models at AWS, improving content quality via social graph signals at LinkedIn, and pre-training frontier models at Meta—grounded in an undergraduate foundation in pure mathematics from IISc. Known for bridging theoretical insights with practical systems, he often combines rigorous probabilistic thinking with engineering at scale.
