Martin Pelikan

I currently work at Apple on machine learning with privacy and other machine learning projects. I received PhD in Computer Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I previously worked as a software engineer and researcher at Google, a tenured professor of computer science at University of Missouri, and a postdoc at ETH Zurich. I have over 10k citations and my citation h-index is 46 (Google Scholar profile).
