Summary
Xiao Wu is a quantitative researcher and biostatistician based in New York with seven years of experience at the intersection of health AI, causal inference, and Bayesian/nonparametric methods. Currently an Assistant Professor at Columbia and a Quantitative Scientist on Meta's Health AI team, Xiao blends academic rigor—PhD training and postdocs at Harvard and Stanford—with industry-facing evaluation and benchmark curation for large language models in healthcare. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Xiao has a track record of translating complex statistical theory into practical tools for spatio-temporal and clinical research and has contributed to methodological advances in adaptive Bayesian designs and network-interference experimentation. Fluent in both quantitative research and applied product evaluation, Xiao’s work uniquely bridges rigorous causal methods and real-world health AI assessment, and their bilingual outlook (Chinese-English) and multidisciplinary training in law and math hint at a rare combination of technical depth and broader regulatory and ethical awareness.
