Vasu Sharma

I am an applied data scientist with 9+ years designing machine learning systems and delivering decision-relevant analytics for product, research, and strategy teams. I focus on building production-ready models, rigorous experimentation, and interpretable solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

At ResearchGate I led development of real-time relevance models and an AI system to detect scientific misconduct, enabling publisher partnerships and scaling engagement across millions of users. Previously, I delivered ML features for supply-chain optimization at Blue Yonder and built attribution and recommender improvements at American Express.

I contribute to the community through conference leadership and volunteering, and I prioritize collaboration across engineering, product, and research to balance speed, rigor, and interpretability in ML delivery.
