Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYueqi Wang is a Staff Research Engineer in New York with nine years of experience building large-scale recommender systems and ML-driven discovery, most recently working on LLM-based generative recommender models at Google DeepMind after leading Shorts discovery and large recommender efforts at YouTube. With a PhD in Neuroscience and an MS in Computer Science, she brings a rare blend of experimental neuroscience, probabilistic modeling, and production ML engineering to problems in personalization. Yueqi has contributed to notable open-source ML work—implementing Neural Clustering Process components in TensorFlow’s Neural Structured Learning repo—illustrating both research rigor and practical demo-driven documentation. Colleagues rely on her ability to move ideas from academic prototypes to robust, user-facing systems at scale, and she explicitly avoids quant/trading roles.
