Jian Meng is a research scientist based in New York with eight years of experience at the intersection of efficient AI infrastructure and photorealistic telepresence. Currently a Top Mind Research Scientist at Huawei, he focuses on post-training efficiency for large language models, building on prior research roles at Meta and Cornell Tech that explored model compression and high-fidelity telepresence systems. His background blends deep academic training toward a PhD in Electrical Engineering with hands-on systems work—from neuromorphic on-chip sensing to model compression for Codec Avatars—giving him a rare mix of theoretical rigor and practical optimization skills. Jian’s trajectory shows a consistent emphasis on squeezing performance from models and hardware alike, and he is comfortable translating research prototypes into engineering-ready solutions. He maintains a public portfolio with additional details on his personal website.
