Joseph is a Professor in the EECS department at UC Berkeley, a co-director and founding member of the UC Berkeley Sky Computing Lab, RISE Lab, and a member of the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR Group). His research interests span artificial intelligence and data systems and he has a wide range of projects including:
- large language models (LLMs) that interact with external systems (e.g. tool use, RAG, LLM agents, long context windows)
- system support for large language model deployment (e.g. inference, serving, RAG, batch)
- large model finetuning
- machine learning on edge devices
- new approaches to cloud computing
- accelerated deep learning for high-resolution computer vision
- software platforms for autonomous vehicles
In 2020, Joseph launched a new stealth company based on his research to radically simplify the process of deploying advanced analytics and machine learning in modern data driven enterprises. Prior to joining Berkeley, Joseph co-founded Turi Inc. (formerly GraphLab), which was based on his thesis work on the GraphLab and PowerGraph Systems. Turi was eventually acquired by Apple.
