Morteza Zadimoghaddam

I am a staff research scientist (L6) at Google Zurich office in Switzerland. Previously, I spent 4 years in Google Cambridge, two years in the same Zurich office and 4 years in the New York office where I started my career at Google in January 2014. Prior to Google, I did my PhD in computer science at MIT (CSAIL) under supervision of Professor Erik D. Demaine. I work on applying optimization techniques to various practical problems in order to find provably efficient algorithms. In particular, I apply infrastructure optimization methods to save computational resources at scale. On the mathematical and research side, I am interested in Submodular Optimization and its applications in large scale data mining and machine learning problems.
