Research Scientist -- Deepfake Video at Pindrop
New York City, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKhizar Anjum is a systems-focused AI researcher and engineer finishing a PhD in Computer Engineering at Rutgers, with eight years of experience building ultra-low-power neural networks, resource-constrained deep learning for drones/FPGAs, and resilient underwater joint source-channel coding. He invented the Folded Neural Network and CvPU to run continuous physiological signal processing at microwatt budgets, co-created the first real-world underwater acoustic dataset (ACommSet), and holds two international patents plus a publication in IEEE JSAC. Khizar has a track record of translating research into deployable systems—real-time 16 FPS video at 2.3 kbps underwater, 40x FPGA speedups for UAV fault detection, and ML models trained on NERSC’s Perlmutter—backed by $1.135M in NSF funding and 16 peer-reviewed publications. Now based in New York and working on deepfake video detection at Pindrop, he’s seeking applied ML/AI, embedded AI, or MLOps roles where tight hardware-software tradeoffs matter.
