Summary
Amir Maleki is an applied research scientist with 8 years of experience building ML systems for enterprise generative AI, search, and recommendation, currently contributing to ranking and recommendation at Meta. He combines a rigorous academic foundation—a PhD in Applied Mathematics and prior postdoctoral work at Stanford on AI safety and human-preference driving models—with practical industry experience accelerating numerical simulations at Ansys. His work spans from formal verification of neural controllers to deploying deep-learning solutions that speed up computational physics, reflecting a rare blend of theory and systems engineering. Skilled in cold-start recommendations and graph-based approaches from earlier roles, he brings both product-minded experimentation and research-grade rigor to production ML. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Amir is comfortable translating complex dynamical-system insights into scalable ML features for real-world search and recommendation problems. An interesting throughline in his career is applying control- and physics-informed thinking to safety and robustness in large-scale AI systems.
