Nima Kondori

I am a MASc graduate in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of British Columbia, where my thesis research focused on video diffusion models for echocardiogram analysis and data augmentation. You can find my thesis here. During my graduate studies, I was co-supervised by by Prof. Renjie Liao and Prof. Purang Abolmaesumi

Currently, I am a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at Lily AI, leading the design of LLM-powered pipelines, optimizing model attribution, and deploying scalable ML systems in production. I specialize in generative AI, diffusion models, and MLOps, with experience spanning both research and industry.

My work has resulted in publications at ICCV, CVPR, and MICCAI, and I have received different awards such as the Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS-M) and NSERC USRA. I am passionate about advancing real-world AI solutions and closing the gap between the AI research and engineering.
