Top SchoolChao Wang is a Staff Research Scientist in machine learning based in Menlo Park with nine years of experience building large-scale ranking and recommendation systems for social platforms. At Meta he leads comment ranking and creator experience efforts, applying NLP and ranking research to improve public conversation and creator moderation at scale. He earned a Ph.D. from Cornell focused on active learning and statistical inference, and has hands-on industry experience from internships at Amazon and product-focused nanodegrees in ML and self-driving systems. Comfortable moving models from research to production, he blends rigorous stochastic optimization and decision-theory foundations with pragmatic engineering leadership. A subtle strength is his cross-domain background—from physics and electrical engineering to applied ML—which helps him reason about complex systems and noisy real-world data. Colleagues know him for translating academic ideas into measurable product impact on high-visibility features.
