Top SchoolFan Yang is a Senior Engineering Manager and researcher with 10+ years building and shipping production-scale computer vision and multimodal ML systems, backed by 30+ publications/patents and 3,000+ citations. He has led end-to-end efforts from architecting eBay’s image search for its first conversational chatbot to creating anomaly detection for Google Cloud Inspection AI and optimizing vision models across Photos, Pixel, AR, and Cloud products used by billions. Recently focused on large multimodal model fine-tuning and foundation models for image generation/editing, he blends applied research with product engineering to drive deployable innovation. He has a PhD in computer science, a deep track record of publishing at top venues (ECCV, ICCV, CVPR, KDD, ACM MM), and serves as an active reviewer across 30+ conferences and journals. Colleagues rely on him to bridge research rigor and pragmatic systemization—an approach evident in both core TensorFlow contributions and leadership roles accelerating fashion-focused diffusion and VLM fine-tuning at startups.
