New Haven, CT

I have the great privilege to be the inaugural Shanna and Eric Bass ’05 Director of Entrepreneurship at Yale SOM as well as Senior Lecturer here at SOM (and in Yale CS by courtesy). It might be the best job on Yale's campus—I get to hang out with student entrepreneurs and brilliant colleagues all day. I currently teach "Large Language Models", “Management.

United States

I was a co-founder of Rho AI where I led the early development of our flagship Pit Rho software product, which helps motorsports teams win races using nifty machine learning models. It was fun and I learned a lot on the way using Python (flask, pandas, sklearn, etc), PostgreSQL, Angular, some Golang, Docker, and other goodies. Pit Rho was acquired by GM in.

San Francisco Bay Area

I was a consultant at RPX Corp., which acquired the company I founded, PriorSmart (see below). At RPX, I wrote code to analyze and predict the value of large patent portfolios using a variety of machine learning and NLP techniques (mostly in Python using sklearn and gensim, though I occasionally dabbled in our Ruby/Rails codebase).

New Haven, CT

I co-founded and bootstrapped PriorSmart. PriorSmart offered a variety of patent-related services including 1) patent search; 2) patent application monitoring; and 3) patent litigation alerts, the last of which was used by thousands of attorneys and in-house counsel every day. (Who doesn’t want an email alert when they’re sued for patent infringement?) I.

I worked at PIPRA, which is a non-profit that helps scientists in developing countries commercialize their research. At PIPRA I organized international workshops on IP and early-stage ventures particularly in Asia and Latin America. I also helped develop IP strategies for international humanitarian projects. I worked with a great team, including Professor.

Cambridge, MA

I wrote the first paper to show the extent to which the human genome is patented: "Intellectual Property Landscape of the Human Genome", which appeared in Science. That study is widely cited and was featured in the Wall St. Journal, Wired Magazine, Scientific American Magazine, and The Onion (yes, the satirical magazine)

Greater Boston Area

I co-founded Agrivida, an agricultural biotechnology company creating novel plant feedstocks and intermediates using regulated enzymes. These plant varieties substantially lower the costs for many industries including farming, industrial enzymes, and biofuels. Agrivida was funded by Kleiner Perkins and other top-tier venture investors. The company was.

Yorktown Heights, NY

I interned at the IBM Deep Computing Institute during my Ph.D. At IBM, I worked on unsupervised machine learning algorithms and wrote a modest amount of code in C, Perl, and Java.

Cincinnati, Ohio Area

I was a summer intern in P&G's R&D group where I did a few hundred loads of laundry each day while working on a new Tide additive based on carboxy-methyl-cellulose derivatives. It wasn’t super fun and I was pretty poor at it. They [rightly] didn't offer me a job afterward!
