Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSandesh Ghimire is a Staff AI/ML Researcher & Engineer based in San Diego with nine years of experience building probabilistic and generative models for computer vision and medical imaging. After a PhD and postdoc focused on Bayesian inference, Gaussian processes and deep generative models, he now develops compact, on-device generative architectures—balancing model efficiency with expressive power at Qualcomm. His work spans theory (KL estimation, diffusion transformers) and practical deployment, reflecting a rare fluency across statistical inference and deep learning systems. Sandesh’s background in inverse problems for electrophysiological imaging and emphasis on uncertainty and generalization inform his approach to robust, lightweight AI. Outside of lab-to-product translation, he maintains an active research mindset that bridges principled methods with real-world constraints.
