Associate Professor - EECS, RISELab Founding Member | UC Berkeley

Joseph is a Professor in the EECS department at UC Berkeley, a co-director and founding member of the UC Berkeley RISE Lab and a member of the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR Group). His research interests span machine learning and data systems and he has a wide range of projects including:

• real-time model serving
• large language models
• machine learning on edge devices
• accelerated deep learning for high-resolution computer vision
• new cryptographic primitives for federated learning
• frameworks for deep reinforcement learning and parameter tuning
• explainable reinforcement learning
• software platforms for autonomous vehicles
• new approaches to cloud computing

In 2020, Joseph launched a new stealth company based on his research to radically simplify the process of deploying advanced analytics and machine learning in modern data driven enterprises. Prior to joining Berkeley, Joseph co-founded Turi Inc. (formerly GraphLab), which was based on his thesis work on the GraphLab and PowerGraph Systems. Turi was eventually acquired by Apple.
