Petro Junior Milan

👋 Hello!

My areas of interest and expertise lie in Deep Learning, Generative/Agentic AI, and Large Language Models (LLMs), with applications across enterprise, scientific, and engineering domains.

I’m currently a principal AI engineer at SambaNova Systems, where I collaborate closely with customers to design and implement end-to-end LLM solutions, focusing on prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, and AI agents. These solutions leverage open-source models like LLaMA, DeepSeek, Qwen, and E5-Large, all deployed on SambaNova’s latest and custom AI chip, the SN40L.

I hold a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and an MS in Computational Science and Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2021 (advised by Prof. Vigor Yang), where I applied deep learning to accelerate simulations of fluid flow and combustion in rocket engines. I also completed two research internships at Argonne National Laboratory, where I worked on AI-based surrogate models for automotive engines. In 2023, I was honored to be selected as one of 81 outstanding early-career engineers nationwide to participate in the U.S. Frontiers of Engineering symposium, organized by the National Academy of Engineering.
