Summary
Tianshi Wang is a research scientist at Amazon Seattle specializing in LLM/VLM-based multi-agent systems, RAG, and web agents that measurably improve Amazon Shopping’s revenue and customer experience. He completed a Ph.D. in Computer Science at UIUC in 2024, where he pioneered generative augmentation methods for time-series sensing (diffusion/VAE/GAN) with publications in NeurIPS, INFOCOM, SenSys (Best Paper), and Ubicomp. Across 11 years of experience spanning academia, industry research, and internships at IBM, he blends deep-learning theory with production engineering to build agentic AI pipelines and foundation models for sensor and shopping applications. Notably, his work on pretraining inertial-sensor foundation models demonstrated cross-domain transfer under extreme data scarcity—a practical insight he now applies to large multimodal systems.
