Senior🎓
Top SchoolJiacheng Zou is a scientist with 11 years of quantitative research and machine learning experience, currently working on autonomous mobility and delivery at Uber after research roles at Columbia and Stanford. He holds a PhD in Management Science & Engineering with a statistics minor from Stanford and has applied advanced methods—deep learning on multi-terabyte datasets, high-dimensional inference, and mechanism design—to problems in finance, healthcare, and market design. His recent work on supply chain graph learning (R&R at JFE) complements prior projects on organ allocation, asset pricing with conditional inference, and credit-risk deep learning modeling. Comfortable bridging theory and production, he combines rigorous academic publication and conference exposure (NeurIPS, INFORMS, NBER-affiliated venues) with hands-on engineering of GPU-based training pipelines. Based in San Francisco, he blends statistical rigor, mechanism-design insight, and practical ML systems experience to tackle complex, high-stakes decision problems.
