Thierry Tambe
Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
BioThierry Tambe is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science, and the William George and Ida Mary Hoover Faculty Fellow at Stanford University. His research centers on co-designing algorithms and hardware—from high-level models down to custom silicon—to enable efficient execution of AI and data-intensive workloads, with memory efficiency as a central theme. His work has been recognized through an NSF CAREER Award, the inaugural Google ML and Systems Junior Faculty Award, an NVIDIA Graduate PhD Fellowship, an IEEE SSCS Predoctoral Achievement Award, and several distinguished paper awards. Previously, Thierry was a visiting research scientist at NVIDIA and an engineer at Intel. He received a B.S. and M.Eng. from Texas A&M University, and a PhD from Harvard University, all in Electrical Engineering.

Tristan Thrush
Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, admitted Autumn 2023
BioI'm a Computer Science PhD student at Stanford in the NLP group and AI lab, supervised by Tatsunori Hashimoto and Christopher Potts. Previously, I was a founding member of the technical staff at Contextual AI (a startup working on retrieval augmented generation). Before that, I was a research engineer at Hugging Face. Before that, I was a research associate at Facebook AI Research, supervised by Douwe Kiela and then Adina Williams. And before that, I was a research associate at MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences, supervised by Roger Levy. I Received my MEng in computer science with a concentration in artificial intelligence under Patrick Winston at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab. I received my BS also at MIT in computer science, with a minor in linguistics and a minor in math. While I was an undergrad, I did research with the Perception Systems Group at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab.
I'm interested in AI. Specifically: natural language processing, computer vision, high-dimensional statistics, and data-centric AI methods. I have done several large-scale projects with a focus on the data side, which is so intertwined with the model side that it is sometimes hard to tell where one ends and the other begins.
Here are three of my favorite papers:
Perplexity Correlations: https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05816
(This one has some fun math and is useful for pretraining data selection)
Multimodal Evaluation: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.03162
(This one poses a still open challenge for word-order understanding in vision-language models)
Rover Relocalization for Mars Sample Return: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9381709
(There is nothing cooler than robots in space)
