Haoran Liu is a data scientist with six years of experience blending research-grade machine learning and production analytics, currently an IC5 at Ladder in the San Francisco Bay Area. He holds a PhD in Geophysics and Oceanography and an MS in Applied Statistics, and has led data ops and ML teams to deliver analytics products and architectures at Pathr.ai. His work spans applied research—building CNNs for satellite imagery and feature-rich ML pipelines—to production ML, including fine-tuning an LLaMA-8B chat model on 250k+ medical dialogues with a 25% boost in response accuracy. An active open-source contributor, he developed dataset processing for molecular graph deep-learning in the DIG library, translating chemistry SMILES into PyTorch Geometric pipelines. Known for making technical results accessible to non-technical stakeholders, he combines domain rigor with pragmatic engineering to deploy specialized AI solutions.

Contributions summary:Haoran primarily contributed to the development of a dataset interface within the `dig/ggraph` library, focusing on molecular data processing. They added a dataset class (`PygDataset`) and implemented the necessary processing steps for several molecular datasets, including QM9, ZINC, and MOSES. This involved handling SMILES strings, molecular property targets, and graph representations using RDKit and PyTorch Geometric. The commits also indicate modifications to data loading and pre-processing pipelines for machine learning tasks involving graph data.
