Trained as an electrical engineer with a PhD from Imperial College London, Liang blends rigorous theoretical work (node embedding, network identifiability) with hands-on production model development and user-facing quality control. He has a track record of mentoring junior researchers and translating cutting-edge models into reliable customer-facing features.
