Summary
Sid Roy is a Senior Research Scientist specializing in deep learning and LLMs, currently advancing ML research at Protopia AI after building federated, privacy-preserving ML foundations as Principal ML Engineer at Devron. He holds a Ph.D. in Computational Engineering and leverages a rare blend of applied research and production engineering—spanning synthetic microstructure GANs, small-data surrogate models, and end-to-end CV systems—to tackle sensitive-data problems for startups and DoD projects. Over seven years of experience, Sid has published in top venues and translated academic innovations into deployable products, including a federated ML product securing enterprise data. Based in New York, he combines hands-on model development with systems thinking and a practical focus on privacy, often applying transfer learning and probabilistic surrogates to make physics-informed predictions from limited data.
