Gilad Turok

Hi , I’m Gilad. I’m a Computer Science PhD student at Cornell University , supported by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. I am fortunate to work with Professors Volodymyr Kuleshov and Chris De Sa.

My research is focused on designing mathematically principled diffusion language models. I’m broadly interested in probablistic machine learning , including generative models, AI4Science, and sampling & statistical inference.

Previously I interned at Uber applying RL to experimentation. Before grad school, I spent two wonderful years at the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute with Dr. Bob Carpenter. Before that, I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Applied Mathematics.
