Joewie J. Koh
Senior AI Researcher at MITRE, developing novel solutions for weather mitigation in air traffic management. Conducting doctoral research at CU Boulder, with interests spanning deep reinforcement learning, multi-agent systems, and interactive AI.
By day, I solve real-world problems with machine learning; by night, I’m a part-time academic and full-time night owl. While I’m currently focused on challenges in the aviation domain, I’ve had a brief stint in health IT, and my research has found applications in robotics and educational technology. Before starting the doctoral program at CU Boulder, I worked at a Denver-based startup applying the latest advances in natural language processing to cybersecurity and legal technology.
Grew up in Singapore, spent a decade in the United States, and have now found my way back home. I enjoy running and flying, but tend to keep out of the water. (I do like seaplanes, though.)
