Top SchoolIan Quah is an experienced machine learning engineer and researcher with 11 years in industry and open-source work, currently interning at Duality Technologies while volunteering as a Research Engineer at OpenMined and advising startups as an ML consultant. His technical focus spans privacy-preserving ML — including homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, and federated learning — with hands-on contributions to PALISADE and TenSEAL integrations via C++, Python, and bindings work. Ian has led production-oriented ML engineering efforts that dramatically reduced compute and latency at scale, and he pairs that with academic rigor from Carnegie Mellon and PhD-level research experience at the University of Washington. He mentors junior engineers, runs cross-functional product discovery, and even finds time to explore group theory and experiment in the kitchen, reflecting a blend of deep technical curiosity and practical impact.
