ABOUT ARUN RAVISHANKAR
I\'m a Senior Data Scientist at Instacart working on smart shopping cart technology, with a focus on anti-theft systems and basket intelligence. My background spans theoretical physics (PhD studying black hole stability), marketplace optimization, and machine learning applications in consumer technology.Previously, I built the data science function at Turno and worked on supply management, marketplace dynamics and pricing at Rover. In parallel to my current role, I\'m also deepening my expertise through Stanford\'s AI Graduate Certificate program, focusing on reinforcement learning and decision-making under uncertainty.I\'m drawn to problems at the intersection of rigorous mathematical modeling and real-world impact—whether that\'s optimizing two-sided marketplaces, or applying game theory to sequential decision-making.You can find more about my work at in Progress)
