Dr. Octavia Sulea
SI Researcher, San Francisco
I am a researcher with a Ph.D. in Information Science from the University of Bucharest. My work in signal extraction, representation learning, and multimodal ML has taken me through DFKI, Xerox PARC, and SRI, with support from DARPA and the EU.
Current projects include Astrolane, execution intelligence for digital asset markets; Lean2LLM, language-model-generated proofs with formal verification; and Backseat, a Chrome extension for your personal agent.
As Empress of Codestars, I create music, fashion, and film with an empressive, surreal, and intimate visual language.
