Albert Reed is a Senior R&D Engineer working remotely on Kitware’s Computer Vision Team. He is focused on machine learning tasks where he’ll be collaborating with researchers and training algorithms to solve challenging problems.

Albert earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering from New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in May 2014. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University in May 2023. His field of study was computational imaging. In April 2020, he was awarded the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship (NDSEG) Fellowship. In May 2023, his Ph.D. dissertation was awarded the Dean’s Dissertation Award from Arizona State University.

While working towards his Ph.D, he had internships at Amazon Alexa where he worked on using large language models for data retrieval and ranking. He also interned with Lawrence Livermore National Labs where he designed neural-network based algorithms for computed tomography imaging. He also interned for The Applied Research Labs at Penn State where he designed new types of synthetic aperture sonar imaging algorithms.
