Co-Founder & Head of Research
,
Snorkel AI

Paroma Varma is the co-founder and head of solutions at Snorkel AI, and earned her doctorate in electrical engineering from Stanford University. Her research focused on democratizing machine learning for domain experts who lack access to large datasets necessary for training intricate models, thus making complex AI technologies more accessible and impactful for a broader audience. She applied these methods in diverse fields such as medical imaging and autonomous driving.
