Said Gürbüz is a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at ETH Zurich and a predoctoral researcher at IBM's AI for Knowledge Group, bringing two years of focused research experience in NLP and machine learning. He holds an MSc in Computer Science from EPFL with top grades and has supported ML teaching there while contributing to information extraction research with LLMs. His background includes research stints at Cambridge and UIUC and industry internships in Turkey, giving him a strong cross-border blend of academic rigor and applied engineering. Said is comfortable moving between research and teaching roles and has already worked under notable supervisors on projects that bridge large language models and knowledge-centric AI. Less obvious: he pairs high academic performance with hands-on lab and industry experience, making him adept at turning theoretical ideas into reproducible experiments.
