Senior🎓
Top SchoolRauf Kurbanov is an experienced ML leader and deep learning researcher with a decade of experience building applied generative AI systems and privacy-aware solutions across industry and academia. As the founding member of JetBrains AI Lab and current ML Division Tech Lead, he has a rare track record of translating research into products—from MOSES for personalized drug discovery to inclusive synthetic-human pipelines that cut labeling bias and cost. He’s lectured and designed graduate courses in deep learning, blending rigorous academic training with hands-on MLOps, large-scale training, and patent-backed innovations. Notably, his work at Synthesis AI reduced skin-tone distributional skew by 80% and helped produce one of the largest synthetic humans datasets, demonstrating an uncommon focus on fairness in synthetic data. Now leading AI at a stealth startup and planning a team around Natural Language to Code generation, he combines strategic product vision with deep technical craftsmanship.
