Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRui Xiao is an Applied Scientist II with 11 years of experience translating rigorous biomedical research into production-ready machine learning solutions, currently driving applied science at Amazon in the Greater Seattle area. His background spans drug discovery, genomics, and computational pathology, where he has built pipelines that reduced processing times from months to hours and achieved >96% multi-class segmentation accuracy in histology. Rui has a strong track record of integrating multi-modal omics, automating large-scale analyses, and deploying reproducible, containerized workflows that unify disparate data processing stages. He combines deep domain expertise from a PhD in Comparative Biomedical Sciences with practical software skills (C#, Python, R, containerization) to deliver interpretable and high-performing models in regulated settings. A less obvious strength is his history of shipping user-facing tools—desktop and web services—that make complex algorithms accessible to scientists and clinicians.
