Fiona Victoria Stanley Jothiraj is a PhD researcher in Artificial Intelligence at Oregon State University, where she works with the ML QuESt Research Lab, advised by Dr. Rebecca Hutchinson. Her current research applies hierarchical occupancy modeling, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms to better understand plant-pollinator interactions and species distribution.

Her research spans Ecological Machine Learning, Generative AI, and Federated Learning. She authored Phoenix, the world's first federated diffusion model, which opened a new direction for privacy-aware generative AI and earned broad recognition, including an invitation from the CEO of Flower Labs to present her work.

She has also worked as a Research Intern at Micron Technology, applying novel deep learning and generative AI techniques to optimize semiconductor product yield. Her work has been published at multiple AI venues (AAAI, WWW, ASIS&T), and she has been invited to review at several top-tier AI venues, including ICML, ICLR, AAAI, and NeurIPS. Her research combines technical innovation with ethical purpose, advancing AI for social good.
