Disa Mhembere

Previously, I was part of the WatchFor team, where I helped bring a scalable, adaptable, low-code AI classification system into production within Xbox. I was also a core developer of MSRHub, a secure Azure hosting platform for Microsoft Research.

I earned my PhD in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University (opens in new tab) as a member of the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science. My dissertation reimagined infrastructure for large-scale, semi-external-memory graph analysis and unsupervised clustering under the advisement of Randal Burns, PhD (opens in new tab). I also hold a master’s degree in engineering management from Hopkins (opens in new tab) (Go Blue Jays!) and a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from Morgan State University (opens in new tab) (Go Bears!).
