Sardaana Eginova

I am a junior at UC Berkeley, double majoring in Computer Science and Data Science with emphasis on Applied Math. I am originally from Yakutsk, Russia. It gets -55 degrees Celsius in my hometown.

My research interests are ML at scale, interpretability, and optimization. Previously, I had a privilege of being part of several research labs at UC Berkeley: BAIR [Keutzer group, low resource Asian languages machine translation], Sky Lab [Gorilla, BFCLv3 web-search 100 Q&A benchmark], SWARM Lab [Speech group, decoder-only transformers causal tracing], and Rijo-Ferreira Lab [RNA sequencing for cyclic genes].

I am also happy to share that I am part of Machine Learning @ Berkeley, SAAS, and Cal Hacks student-run clubs.

In my free time, I love learning new card games, reading (currently) non-fiction on biology and genes, and walking around SF.
