Jadie Adams, Ph.D. is a senior R&D engineer on Kitware’s Computer Vision Team. She contributes to projects related to 3D reconstruction from imagery and video, natural language processing, and media forensics.
Prior to working at Kitware, Jadie interned at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) on the Machine Learning and Instrument Autonomy (MLIA) team. She collaborated with a team of data scientists and cosmologists to develop a probabilistic machine learning model for cosmic microwave background recovery from full sky maps. She also worked at Sorenson on the Speech Sciences and Machine Learning Team as an AI/Speech Scientist II, where she designed and implemented ML/NLP algorithms to enhance automatic speech recognition for telephone captioning.
Jadie earned her Ph.D. in computing (image analysis track) from the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute. Her dissertation focused on probabilistic deep learning for medical image analysis and anatomical shape modeling. She did her undergraduate at Westminster University in Salt Lake City where she earned a bachelor’s degree, with honors, in mathematics with a minor in physics and computer science.
