Director of Applied Science and Partner at Microsoft. Still kinda an associate professor at Northwestern too. brenthecht.com
The Office of Applied Research at Microsoft is looking for more Ph.D. interns! We need folks who are particularly hands-on (i.e. have a record of building real, working systems as part of their research) and, critically, can start pretty much right now (vs. the summer).

Hi Bluesky (+ many friendly familiar faces). I'm a researcher in HCI + ML, assistant prof at Simon Fraser University up in BC, and working on "healthy data flow". Doing a quick thread recapping some recent writing (blogs, pre-prints, etc.) that capture the things I work on and talk about!
