Grace Tang is a staff data scientist and research lead with 13 years of experience translating behavioral neuroscience and ML into product impact across startups and FAANG, currently driving research at Google after leading Creative Innovation data science at Netflix. She holds a PhD from Stanford in decision neuroscience and uniquely combines experimental rigor with product-focused A/B testing, having delivered creative optimization that added tens to hundreds of millions in annual value. Grace builds tools and pipelines end-to-end—from ETL and recommender systems at early startups to internal experimentation platforms at Uber and Netflix—and mentors newcomers through a popular Stanford Continuing Studies course she designed. Her work sits at the intersection of behavioral economics, neuroscience, and generative AI, and she brings a writer’s sensibility (hard sci-fi and fiction) to framing problems and communicating findings.
