Mohanad Odema

Researcher and engineer working at the intersection of AI and systems. I hold a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of California, Irvine, focused on HW/SW co-design for efficient AI. I was selected as an ML and Systems Rising Star 2025 by MLCommons. Currently operating in the capacity of an AI Research Scientist with LG Electronics, Emerging Tech Lab.

My work touches on broad design and optimization topics in the AI space, more recently relating to architecture search, efficiency, long-context management, and data-aware adaptations. By extension, I also explore the application of AI to enhance the design and operation of the underlying hardware systems that run these very same models.
