Summary
Fei Tan is an Associate Professor and research scientist with a decade of experience specializing in large-scale language and multimodal systems, NLP, and applied ML. She led research teams at SenseTime focused on scaling and aligning models with tens to hundreds of billions of parameters and has industry experience delivering production-facing NLP solutions at Xiaohongshu and Yahoo Research. Her background blends academic rigor—PhD in Computer Science and publications spanning genomics and complex systems—with hands-on engineering in causal inference, user behavior modeling, and hate-speech detection. Based in Shanghai, she recruits and mentors researchers and engineers across NLP and cross-modal learning, and maintains an orientation toward practical deployment and business impact. A less obvious strength is her interdisciplinary research history, having contributed published work linking computational methods to biology and physics early in her career.
