Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRuchira Ray is a vision and robotics-focused PhD student with eight years of applied ML experience, combining generative AI, data-centric engineering, and robotics to build dependable perception systems. She has designed production-ready computer vision pipelines for waste-sorting deployments, developed differentiable datasets and text-to-image augmentation workflows at EPFL, and studied social-robot interaction and audiovisual exploration at UT Austin. Her background spans industry research (Samsung R&D, IRDE) and MLOps, with a track record of improving model robustness to distribution shifts and practical metric gains (e.g., sound-spoof detection research). A proven community builder and mentor, she scaled an ML student organization to 95+ members and regularly bridges academic rigor with deployable systems. Seeking full-time roles starting January 2025, she is based in the UK and brings both deep research instincts and hands-on engineering for human–machine collaborative systems.
