Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Ng is a quantitative researcher and postdoctoral machine learning scientist with 11 years of hands-on experience studying discrete sequence representations, robustness, and interpretability for natural language. He completed a PhD split between the University of Toronto and MIT and has held research roles at Facebook AI, Google, Meta, and Prescient Design, contributing to wins in shared tasks and practical speedups like custom CUDA kernels for sequence models. Now at Citadel, he blends academic rigor with production-facing research, focusing on fixing model pathologies and out-of-domain generalization. A multidisciplinary background in computer science, mathematics, and music and early work in bioinformatics hint at a curiosity-driven approach that pairs theoretical insight with systems engineering.
