Responsibilities

Build and fine-tune a vision- and physiology- foundation model that detects daily activities (workouts, meals, naps) from wearables, Pod signals, and phone context to explain sleep trends

Push state of the art on multivariate forecasting to predict sleep stages, heart rate, HRV, and recovery days ahead - robust to missing data and lifestyle shifts

Create a high-fidelity simulator that models how choices (caffeine, exercise timing, alcohol, travel) ripple into tonight’s sleep and tomorrow’s readiness

Learn personalized cooling/heating policies that react to micro-events (restlessness, awakenings) in real time - balancing comfort, sleep continuity, and energy

Train better models without centralizing raw data: federated fine-tuning with differential privacy for sleep staging, anomaly detection, and forecasting
