About Vijay Ramachandran

I have a diverse professional background including significant contributions in Software, Applications, Products and Marketing. My deepest (and current) interest is in machine learning, with specific focus on image processing for industrial applications.I believe that most real life industrial applications of AI involve a combination of traditional algorithms, physics based models and deep learning techniques. I am excited and motivated by the possibility of pushing the frontier in the area of being able to combine physics based modeling with AI in a first class manner.My current role involves building a world class team of physicists, data scientists software and AI Infra engineers who can help KLA and the larger SEMI industry advance Moore\'s Law with the help of AI powered applications. If you are interested in being part of this journey, do contact me! Our open positions are in Ann Arbor, MI.
