Top SchoolLiang Huang is a computational linguist and computational biologist who blends deep academic research with applied AI entrepreneurship, currently serving as Full Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, of Biochemistry/Biophysics at Oregon State University. With a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and over a decade of experience, he has led breakthroughs spanning NLP, simultaneous translation, and RNA therapeutics, co-founding Coderna.ai to apply AI to mRNA design. His work has appeared in top venues (Nature, PNAS, Nature Communications) and earned awards including ACL Best Paper, reflecting a rare cross-disciplinary impact. He has held senior research leadership roles at Baidu Research and Google and mentored influential students—one co-advised student was first author of the Transformer paper. Based in Mountain View, Liang combines rigorous theory with product-minded research, frequently moving ideas from lab to industry. A not-obvious facet of his career is the sustained dual focus on both cutting-edge language models and practical biomedical applications, positioning him at the intersection of AI and life sciences.
