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 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.
