Stephen Mussmann
Steve is an IFDS postdoc at the University of Washington Computer Science working with Kevin Jamieson and Ludwig Schmidt. He received his PhD in 2021 from Stanford University Computer Science advised by Percy Liang. He is interested in machine learning research and focuses on choosing informative data through the lenses of active learning and data pruning.
I am applying for academic faculty jobs this year (2022-2023)! (research statement)
