Udaya Ghai

I am a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at Amazon, where my research focuses on applying reinforcement learning to supply chain optimization. More broadly, I'm interested in theory and algorithms for machine learning, particularly reinforcement learning, control, optimization (convex and non-convex), and online learning.

I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Princeton under the supervision of Prof. Elad Hazan, where we worked at the intersection of online learning and control theory. I also spent time as a student researcher at Google Brain. In a previous life, I was a sofware engineer at IMC Trading after completing a B.S. in Computer Science at Caltech.
