Biography

Carson is a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at Amazon where his research focuses on applying reinforcement learning to supply chain optimization. Other projects he currently works on include developing deep learning models for probabilistic time-series forecasting.

Before joining Amazon, Carson received his PhD in June 2019 from the ORFE department at Princeton University. While at Princeton, he was advised by Han Liu and his research focused on optimization, as applied to high-dimensional inference problems and stochastic decision-making. From September 2017 until August 2018, Carson interned at the Tencent AI Lab in Bellevue, Washington.
