Dr. Rahul Dave

Chief Scientist, Univ.AI
Formerly, Harvard University

Rahul is co-founder of Univ.AI. He was on the original team for Harvard’s famous Data Science course, cs109, and has taught machine learning, statistics, and AI courses, both at Harvard and at multiple conferences and workshops. Some of his more popular offerings have been the Data Scientist Training for Librarians workshops in Boston and Copenhagen, Machine Learning for Suits at the Open Data Science Conference, and the am207 course on Bayesian Statistics and Generative Models at Harvard. He has continued to be on the teaching staff for cs109 at Harvard. Rahul is an accomplished computational scientist with a strong programming background and a veteran cosmologist. His Ph.D. work in cosmology and astrophysics at the University of Pennsylvania involved both high performance computing and bayesian statistics, and subsequent work in astronomy took him in the direction of machine learning and AI. Rahul is passionate about teaching, and a big believer in exposing big, 'researchy' ideas early on, to students. He is super excited about sharing his passion and energy with the participants at Univ.AI
