Co-lead DeepMind - Project Astra.https://deepmind.google/technologies/gemini/project-astra/I also work on other novelty AR/VR areas to push the limit of GenAI in this space.Before that I manage an applied machine learning team that develops natural and immersive ways for users to interact with an Assistant using advanced sensing technologies. With a PhD in Computer Science and over eight years of experience at Google, I have a strong background and expertise in mobile application user interfaces, voice interface devices, and augmented and virtual reality.I have co-founded and led several innovative projects that have made Google the world's best Assistant, such as the first Multimodal Assistant Hotwordless Initiation (Look and Talk, launched at Google I/O 2022), the first Google Smart Speaker (Google Home, launched in 2016), and the first Google Smart Display with Camera (Nest Hub Max, launched in 2019). I have also received multiple awards and patents for my research and contributions to the field. My mission is to leverage the latest machine learning technology, especially multimodal LLM (PaLM2 & Gemini), to create intuitive and engaging experiences for millions of users around the world.
