Background

About Siya Goel

https://siyagoel.org/ siyagoel@stanford.edu I’m a senior at Stanford University majoring in Computer Science (AI track) with a minor in Economics. As a builder at heart, I believe advancements in human-centered, ethical, and explainable AI, particularly Generative AI, is critical for bettering society. I've gained extensive experience in software engineering, machine learning, and product management through internships at companies and startups like Google, NVIDIA, Vitaliti, Cardinal Labs, Glocal, and the Department of Defense. Additionally, I am a founding member of Serena, a productivity startup based on a research project I lead with Stanford HAI. I’m also a founder fellow with Dorm Room Fund and RippleX where I have worked on founding Mindscape AI, a personalized journaling app which doubles as an analytics platform for therapists. I've interned with GoAhead Ventures, Heal Venture Lab, and Apprentis Ventures, as well as received a venture capital fellowship from Vencapital, the only undergraduate to do so. My interdisciplinary research background spans over 6 years where I have focused on the intersection of computer science with medicine and business. During my time at Stanford GSB, I enhanced RL recommender systems and NLP algorithms for marketing applications. I've also applied ML to diagnose and treat diseases such as cardiovascular disease, pancreatic cancer, and Alzheimer’s through independent projects and internships at Purdue University, Tufts Medical Center, and the University of Michigan, with my work being published at numerous conferences and papers. I’m deeply passionate about CS education and inclusion. I serve as the Director of Professional Development/Alumni for Stanford WiCS, Director of Hackspace in BASES, and co-founded Buzz Online, an education platform for CS students. I've also served as a mentor at DEI initiatives like Code in Place and the Athena Fellowship. Looking ahead, I aim to continue exploring AI, software engineering, product management, consulting, and venture capital. Feel free to connect!
