In a conversation with Kevin Murphy, the distinguished researcher at Google DeepMind, we explored his multifaceted career spanning academia and industry. Born in Ireland and educated at prestigious institutions in the UK and the US, Kevin's academic journey led him to become an associate professor in Canada, before transitioning to manage a research team at Google DeepMind in California. We dived into the inspiration behind his acclaimed three books on "Probabilistic Machine Learning" and discussed some of the practical applications of his research. Kevin also offered valuable advice to early career researchers and Ph.D. students in Machine Learning.
