Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMelissa Roemmele is a research scientist specializing in evaluating and optimizing generative AI for creative applications, currently on the Evaluations team at Luma AI. With a PhD in Computer Science from USC and a decade of experience across NLP and creative AI, she builds frameworks and human-in-the-loop methodologies that quantify how language and text-to-image models support storytelling. Her work combines prototyping novel LLM and multimodal pipelines with rigorous automated evaluation—skills honed at Midjourney’s Storytelling Lab and Language Weaver (RWS) on summarization and MT quality estimation. She has a track record of turning research prototypes into tools that directly augment creative workflows, and she brings a rare blend of applied engineering, rigorous evaluation design, and narrative-focused research to production problems.
