Pablo Rivas Email & Phone Number

I am Pablo, a machine learning scientist, deep learning evangelist, applied AI ethicist. I am a professional member of the ACM and IEEE. My degrees are in computer science (B.S. ’03), electrical engineering (M.S. ’07), and electrical and computer engineering (Ph.D. ’11). Recently, I was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Baylor University. Before that, I was at Marist College in a similar position.At Baylor, I taught machine learning-related courses. At Marist and Baylor I've had the opportunity to work on different aspects of machine learning, data science, big data, and large-scale pattern recognition. One of our most recent projects on the detection of leukocoria (see leuko.net for more info) is based on deep learning and image-processing techniques. Another recent research project originated from work at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center where we modeled a particular kind of atmospheric particle using different machine learning methods. In the past I worked as Software Engineer for about 8 years; I am familiar with programming languages, particularly C++, Java, and Python; occasionally I use MATLAB. I've been recognized for my creativity and academic excellence; received the IEEE Student Enterprise Award in 2007, and a Research Excellence Award from the Paul L. Foster Health Sciences School of Medicine of Texas Tech in 2009. In 2011, I was inducted into the engineering International Honor Society Eta Kappa Nu (HKN), and in 2021 to the CS Honor Society Upsilon Pi Epsilon.

Listed skills include Computer Science, Matlab, Machine Learning, C++, and 28 others.
