Joseph is an Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at UC Berkeley. He is a founding member of the UC Berkeley RISE Lab where he studies the design of Real-time, Intelligent, Secure, and Explainable systems. His research addresses problems in neural network design, efficient inference, computer vision, prediction serving, autonomous vehicles, robotics, graph analytics, and distributed systems. Joseph has published over 60 papers in top-tier venues spanning machine learning and computer systems and is a pioneer in the field of machine learning systems. His work is part of major software systems including Clipper, Ray, Apache Spark, and GraphLab. Joseph led the development of the core upper-division data science class which he now teaches to over 1000 students a semester. Prior to joining Berkeley, Gonzalez co-founded Turi Inc (formerly GraphLab) based on his thesis work and created the GraphX project (now part of Apache Spark).
