Senior🎓
Top SchoolLichen Wang is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with eight years of applied research and production experience in computer vision and multimodal AI, currently building notification effectiveness models at LinkedIn. Previously at Zillow he led vision-language and open-set perception efforts, created a large-scale indoor segmentation dataset and annotation tool, and guided interns to deliver home-level understanding models that power downstream products. His PhD-backed work spans transfer learning, multi-modal datasets, and efficient model design, with a track record of turning research ideas into robust, scalable systems for real-world applications. Comfortable across academia and industry, he has shipped solutions for 2D/3D data, large-scale annotation pipelines, and lightweight inference on constrained platforms. Colleagues rely on him to bridge theory and engineering—balancing novel model capabilities with practical deployment constraints. Based in Sunnyvale, he combines deep technical depth with hands-on product impact and a knack for automating tedious annotation and evaluation workflows.
