Mourad Bouache
Affiliate, High Performance Computing Center
BioWith a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Montpellier in France and three postdocs focused on AI and Performance Optimization in the USA and Canada, I've built a career pushing the boundaries of what's possible in computing.
My journey led me to Yahoo, where I spent 10 years immersed in the world of AI, contributing to the company's evolution through its various stages as Oath and Verizon. I was deeply involved in developing and implementing AI solutions that powered key products and services.
This experience provided a solid foundation for my next challenge: leading AI initiatives at Intel. Now, as the Generative AI Engineering Director at Meta, I'm privileged to guide a talented team focused on shaping the future of AI.
Beyond my industry work, I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and inspiring the next generation of AI engineers as a lecturer at Stanford University. -
