Dr. Igor Labutov’s startup, external page Laer AI, has been acquired by Epiq and rebranded as the external page Epiq AI Discovery Assistant, an AI-assisted tool designed to automate legal document review. Igor was Prof. Christoph Studer’s first Ph.D. student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. After his Ph.D., Igor went on to do a postdoc with Prof. Tom Mitchell at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) before joining Cornell Tech as a Runway Startup Postdoc in 2018. He then co-founded Laer AI together with Dr. Bishan Yang.

Big congratulations to Igor and Bishan on this achievement!
