Michela Paganini

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Facebook AI Research in Menlo Park. I joined Facebook in 2018 after earning my PhD in physics from Yale University under the supervision of Paul Tipton. During my graduate studies, I worked on the design, development and deployment of deep learning algorithms for the ATLAS experiment at CERN, with a focus on computer vision and generative modeling. While in my PhD, I was an affiliate at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, where I collaborated with the NERSC DAS team. Prior to that, in 2013, I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with degrees in physics and astrophysics.

Interests

AI, machine learning, dynamics of learning, optimization and deep generative modeling
