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 a Research Scientist with LG Electronics, Emerging Tech Lab, building the next generation Edge AI solutions.

My work spans full-stack optimizations for the AI model ecosystem, including architecture search, model compression, efficient inference, and scheduling optimizations. By extension, I also explore the application of AI algorithms to enhance the design of the underlying hardware and systems that run these very same models.
