Ali Farhadi is a computer scientist and an Associate Professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington[1][2] where he leads the RAIVN Lab[3]. He also holds a research position in the Apple Inc. and previously was a research manager an the Allen Institute for AI[1]. He co-founded the on-device machine learning company, XNor.ai, which was acquired in 2020 by Apple Inc.[4]

Ali Farhadi earned his PhD in computer science from University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign under the guidance of David Forsyth working on Computer Vision[5]. He was then a post-doctoral fellow with Alexei A. Efros and Martial Hebert at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University before joining the University of Washington. He currently conducts research in the broad fields of Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Robotics and Reasoning. Some of his research works include YOLO object detection framework[6] which enabled real-time object detection, visual common sense reasoning[7] and resource-efficient machine learning[8].

Ali Farhadi has been named an Allen Distinguished Investigator[9] in 2014, awarded the prestigious Sloan Research Fellowship in 2017[10], Early Career Academic Achievement Alumni Award from UIUC in 2019[11] and was one of the inaugural Google Fellowship holder[12].
