Summary
Juntao Wang is a software engineer at Google specializing in account and behavioral abuse detection for YouTube, bringing nine years of experience across research and production. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Harvard, where his work on human-machine hybrid intelligence produced data-driven algorithms for information elicitation, aggregation, and behavior-aware auction design. At Harvard he led large-scale human forecasting projects and built interactive experimental platforms, blending rigorous theory with practical web systems. Earlier research roles in China produced applied pricing and game-theoretic solutions for telecom and cloud services, and even a patent on mitigating covert channel attacks. Based in Cambridge, MA, he combines academic depth with hands-on engineering at scale and a knack for turning behavioral insights into robust detection algorithms.
