Ryan Reece, Ph.D.
Physicist / machine learning scientist
This is my space on the web
Hi! I’m Ryan. I am a former postdoctoral researcher at the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP), who worked with the ATLAS experiment at CERN and as a machine learning engineer at Cerebras Systems.
I have experience in deep learning, large-scale language modeling, natural language processing, computer vision, classical machine learning, statistical modeling, data science, and petabyte data reduction.
I am passionate about using scientific techniques to solve important problems and about how technologies extend our reach.
