Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolTian Xie is an AI research scientist based in Menlo Park with eight years of experience building and operationalizing large language models and world simulators across top-tier labs. After a Ph.D.-level trajectory in Electrical and Computer Engineering at USC, Tian led LLM and chatbot initiatives at Salesforce, curated pretraining datasets at Character.AI, contributed to Gemini pretraining and reasoning at Google DeepMind, and now works on advanced AI research at Meta. He blends deep academic training with hands-on dataset curation and system-level research, often operating at the intersection of data selection, model pretraining, and emergent reasoning. A pragmatic researcher who moves between product-facing engineering and foundational model work, he’s as comfortable optimizing training pipelines as exploring novel thinking architectures.
