Ronald Seoh is a PhD student and Graduate Teaching Assistant at Purdue University with 11 years of professional experience spanning machine learning engineering, academic research, and quantitative finance. His research focuses on multimodal NLP and information retrieval, aiming to build systems that surface richer, more deliberative public opinion landscapes to improve cross-group dialogue and decision making. He has industry experience as an ML engineer at InMoment and practical research roles at UMass Amherst, plus earlier quantitative work in equity derivatives, giving him a rare blend of applied ML, research rigor, and product sensibility. Ronald also contributes to open-source documentation for notable projects like TensorFlow Federated, improving accessibility of federated learning tutorials for text and image tasks. Based in West Lafayette, he leverages interdisciplinary training—from LSE management science to CS degrees—to tackle how images and text jointly shape online persuasion and audience targeting.
