Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJian Yang is a research scientist at Meta with a decade of experience bridging edge computing, vehicular networks, and machine learning, grounded in a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame. He combines strong systems and software skills (Python, Java, C/C++, Android/iOS) with hands-on kernel-level ML optimization—contributing performance-tuned convolution kernels to AMD's widely used MIOpen library. Jian has led interdisciplinary, industry-funded projects (including work for Ford) and built production forecasting and monitoring tools for Edge Backbone networks during his Meta internship. A quick learner and collaborative leader, he pairs academic rigor in wireless and hardware-security research with pragmatic engineering to deliver deployable systems. Based in Menlo Park, he pursues research that aims to make the world demonstrably better, as reflected both in his GitHub motto and his choice of impactful open-source contributions.
