"...There is neither happiness nor misfortune in this
world. There is merely a comparison between one state and another, nothing
more. - Edmond Dantès" Gogul Balakrishnan, Google, Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043. |
Brief Bio: I am a staff engineer at Google, where I lead a team that is transforming software development using Generative AI. Earlier, I led and worked on the following projects:
- Use of static analysis to ensure privacy of data used by ML models on Pixel phones.
- Swift for TensorFlow Compiler project with a focus on productivity of ML engineers.
- ML models/embeddings for Code Understanding called CuBERT [ICML2020].
- Static analysis to detect vulnerabilities and malware in Android Apps of Google Play Store.
Before that I was an engineer at Facebook, and a research staff member in the Systems Analysis and Verification (SAV) group at NEC Laboratories America, Inc., Princeton, NJ. I got my Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I went to the College of Engineering, Guindy for my undergraduate degree. I am from Pollachi, a small and lively town in Tamil Nadu, India. Of late, I have taken a liking to photography.
