Shuang Song is a research software engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with six years of industry experience and a PhD in Computer Science from UC San Diego. At Google since 2018, she applies rigorous research methods to build production-ready ML systems, with a focus on privacy-preserving machine learning. Her open-source contributions to tensorflow/privacy include implementing membership inference attack tooling for both Estimator and Keras workflows, helping quantify privacy risks in widely used ML pipelines. With a foundation in math and computer science from HKUST, she blends theoretical depth and practical engineering to evaluate model vulnerability and measurement. Colleagues know her for translating complex privacy research into reusable libraries and evaluation utilities that integrate cleanly with TensorFlow ecosystems.
