Summary
Vishal Dey is a research scientist at Meta with a decade of experience in representation learning, LLM tuning, AI agents, and graph ML applied to drug discovery and scientific domains. He completed a PhD in Computer Science at Ohio State, where his work spanned efficient distributed query algorithms, transfer learning, and accelerating molecular simulations with GNNs. Prior internships at Etsy and PNNL translated research into production—most notably a visual-quality model that suppressed millions of low-quality listings—and he has a history of building high-speed ML simulators for molecular dynamics. As a first-generation international graduate from an underrepresented community, he actively mentors and champions inclusivity in AI. His blend of deep academic rigor and production impact, plus hands-on experience in LLM post-training and agent design, positions him at the intersection of foundational research and real-world deployment.
