🎉 We're thrilled to welcome back Shivatmica Murgai to the team as a returning Machine Learning intern this summer before she starts her freshman year at Stanford University this fall! Shivatmica is hands-down one of the brightest young minds we have ever encountered. When we introduce her to others, we often get asked for recruiting advice: "How did you find Shivatmica?” Last summer, her work as a junior research engineer could be compared to that of a graduate-level researcher, not a high school student. Shivatmica worked with one of our research scientists to build the experimental infrastructure for evaluating a novel image generation algorithm built on diffusion models. She designed and built human evaluation systems, implemented scoring algorithms, built infrastructure for tracking experimental results, and documented her work flawlessly. Shivatmica is interested in the intersection of machine learning and math, as well as its interdisciplinary real-world applications. She’s particularly interested in how math is used “under the hood” in AI algorithms. In the past, she has worked on de-biasing word embeddings for physical appearance, cell tower clustering using parallel tempering, and modeling Intelligent Transportation Systems, and she has published her research at peer-reviewed IEEE conferences. She’s previously also worked on AI research at the Stanford Thrun Lab about using parallel tempering to enhance k-medoids clustering. In her free time, she enjoys reading and listening to music. Favorite children’s book: "Cuddles the Cow." 📖 Shivatmica, we're so lucky to have you back on the team. We admire your intelligence, learner’s mindset, and tenacity on any and all projects. One day after Ello IPOs, we're all excited to intern at your future startup(s)! 🚀
Shivatmica, you are a force to be reckoned with, and I'm so proud to tell everyone for years and decades to come that "I knew her when." Endless gratitude to Catalin for recognizing your immense talent and bringing you into the Ellophamily!
Very excited to be a guest star in the future Shivatmica movie!!!
So talented and truly an inspiration at your age! Welcome back Shivatmica!
Congratulations! Wishing you all the best this summer!
High School Student
4moThank you so much for the incredible opportunity! Words can’t describe how grateful I am to be working with such a talented and inspiring team. Over the past couple years, I gained invaluable experience from Ello and I’m so so excited to learn from everyone over the coming summer. It’s an honor to be a part of the Ellophamily!!
