Rahul Duggal

I'm an Applied Scientist in the AWS AI Computer Vision group where I work on building large-scale, multimodal foundation models. My work has contributed to the content moderation and face understanding usecases within the AWS Rekognition service.

Previously, I earned my PhD in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology where I worked on robust and efficient machine learning and was advised by Polo Chau and Jimeng Sun.
