To solv e these challenges\, at M365 Research group in Microsoft\, we have built a cross-domain research team focusing on applied research on “ML for Syst ems” to bring a step function improvement in Cloud Efficiency and Reliab ility. The group comprises of 30+ PhD Researchers\, Research Fellows and I nterns in Bangalore (co-located with MSR India)\, Redmond and Beijing. We aim to partner with top research institutions to drive innovation and leve rage the immense scientific knowledge and expertise to bring new ideas int o practice. Our goal is to explore all the dimensions from collaborative r esearch with faculty members\, to establishing knowledge sharing seminars and building a long-term talent pipeline. You can read more about our rese arch group here: https://aka.ms/systems-innovation.\n\nBios:\n\n Saravan Rajmohan is a Partner Director at Microsoft\, leading the M365 Research g roup focused on AI and Applied Research. He oversees diverse teams in the US\, Latin America\, UK\, India\, and China\, conducting groundbreaking re search in Systems Innovation and Privacy Preserving Machine Learning. The group develops advanced algorithms and hardware innovation to enhance M365 infrastructure and services\, collaborating closely with Microsoft Resear ch labs. They drive AIOps Cloud Intelligence research\, improving efficien cy and reliability across M365 services. His Efficient AI team optimizes g enerative AI scenarios through cross-layer optimization and collaboration\ , while privacy-preserving research ensures confidentiality in ML systems\ , playing a pivotal role in AI privacy policies.\n Chetan Bansal is a Pri ncipal Research Manager at Microsoft leading the AIOps and Cloud Intellige nce research. His research is focused on improving Cloud Efficiency and Re liability through AI and data-driven methods. His research has had a signi ficant impact on Cloud Efficiency and Developer Productivity at Microsoft with millions of dollars of savings. He has published 30+ papers in top in ternational conferences like ICSE\, FSE\, NSDI\, KDD and filed 15+ patents . His research has been recognized with best paper awards and nominations in conferences such as SoCC\, FMCAD and ICSE. Prior to Microsoft\, his wor k on Formal verification of Web Protocols was recognized by awards from Fa cebook\, Mozilla and Google.\n Anjaly Parayil is a Senior Researcher at M 365 Research leading applied research at the intersection of efficiency an d reliability of cloud services.  In particular\, she works on data drive n optimizations to ensure continuous availability of cloud services as wel l as workload aware techniques for improving the efficiency of Cloud infra structure. Before joining Microsoft\, Anjaly was a Post Doc with the Compu tational and Information Sciences Directorate at the US Army Research Labo ratory where she focused on Reinforcement Learning and Bayesian Inferencin g. Anjaly completed her graduate studies at the Department of Aerospace En gineering at IISc with her thesis focusing on uncertain systems and multi- agent control\, for which she received Prof. A. K. Rao Medal for the best Ph.D. Thesis. Anjaly has authored 25+ publications in Artificial intellige nce\, control systems and optimization.\n Mayukh Das is a Senior Research er at Microsoft driving applied AI research for Cloud Efficiency.  In par ticular\, he works on varied decision-making problems for configuration tu ning for performance optimization of cloud services\, for capacity provisi oning\, for power and energy optimization\, and\, operational efficiency o f ML workloads. He completed his PhD from UT Dallas and his thesis work wa s focused on Guided Reinforcement Learning and Probabilistic Modeling in N oisy domains. Prior to Microsoft he was at Samsung Research solving Edge-A I problems. He serves on the program committee of various conferences incl uding AAAI\, ICML\, NeurIPS\, SDM etc. and has served as a track chair at CODS-COMAD ‘24. Mayukh has authored 25+ publications in AI/ML and holds 7+ patents.\n\n\n\n\nHost: Yogesh Simmhan\, CDS\n\nALL ARE WELCOME CATEGORIES:Events,Talks END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Asia/Kolkata X-LIC-LOCATION:Asia/Kolkata BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20230215T143000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0530 TZOFFSETTO:+0530 TZNAME:IST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
