Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRebecca Roelofs is a research scientist at Google with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley and 11 years of experience focused on making machine learning more reliable. Her work centers on robustness and generalization of ML models, with contributions spanning optimization algorithms, implicit bias in deep learning, trajectory optimization with safety constraints, and distributed optimization. She has published at ICML and NeurIPS and routinely applies AWS, PyTorch, and TensorFlow to run large-scale, parallel experiments for distributed algorithms. Based in Berkeley, Rebecca pairs deep theoretical insight with practical systems engineering—evident in her ADMM-style trajectory optimizer prototype from a Google internship and her scalable use of cloud resources for research-grade evaluations.
