Lisha Li is a principal at Amplify Partners, focusing on investments in early-stage startups that leverage Machine Learning and Distributed Systems to solve problems at scale. Her Ph.D. at UC Berkeley, working with Prof David Aldous and Prof Joan Bruna, was on Deep Learning and Probability applied to the problem of clustering in graphs.
