Summary
Yanpei Tian is a Machine Learning Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience bridging academic research and industry, currently pursuing an MS in Electrical Engineering at Stanford and working at Tencent. He has a strong foundation in robotics and power-system modeling from research roles at UIUC, practical software and data-analysis experience from internships (including Shenzhen Stock Exchange and UNEP), and a track record running teaching labs and large student programming competitions. Yanpei combines applied ML work with systems thinking—building electromechanical actuators, simulating grid behavior, and shipping testing services—making him comfortable across hardware, modeling, and production code. Based in Palo Alto, he aims to develop high-impact technologies at top-tier companies while contributing thoughtfully to interdisciplinary projects beyond purely academic outputs.
