Yuchen Li is a machine learning researcher and software engineer with nine years of experience, currently working on large language models as a Student Researcher at Google Research in the New York City area. He holds a PhD in Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon and a perfect 4.0 undergraduate record in Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Electrical Engineering from UIUC, reflecting a strong theoretical foundation. His industry experience includes building production ML systems at Quora (ads CTR models, low-latency serving, A/B testing) and research internships at ByteDance and Facebook focused on translation and feature-investigation platforms. Yuchen combines rigorous research instincts with production engineering chops, having reduced on-call burden and improved robustness in live ML systems. He also has hands-on experience in robotics automation and scheduler design from earlier internships, an uncommon breadth that spans from low-level control to large-scale language models. Colleagues would call him a researcher who ships reliable, cost-efficient ML systems into production.
