About
Joseph Gonzalez is a UC Berkeley EECS researcher and a founding member of the university's RISE Lab, a cross-disciplinary effort spanning systems, machine learning, databases, and security. His research centers on Real-time Intelligent Secure Execution (RISE) — building algorithms and systems that can learn and act in real time on large-scale live data streams. He created the GraphX project, which unifies tables and graphs for graph analytics pipelines and is now part of Apache Spark and used in production at companies such as Alibaba Taobao. His work also spans low-latency model serving, hybrid online/offline learning, and hybrid synchronous/asynchronous system design.
