About Mike Bianco
I’m a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at Microsoft, leading development of foundation models for visual reasoning. Previously, I was a Staff Research Scientist at Clarifai, where I served as technical lead on computer vision model development for object detection and geospatial reasoning in aerial imagery. My work spans both industry and research, with publications in and Nature Scientific Reports, and deployed ML systems in commercial and defense domains.My focus is on bridging cutting-edge research with real-world impact, with expertise in:• Generative AI (LLMs, transformers, diffusion models)• Vision-language and multimodal representation learning• Signal processing and real-time inference systems• End-to-end ML: from prototyping and large scale training to production deploymentI hold a PhD in Earth Science, where my research centered on machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision.
