Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhenduo Wang is an AI Engineer with a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Utah and eight years of experience applying NLP and information retrieval techniques to real-world problems. He has moved fluidly between academia and industry—publishing work on zero-shot clarifying question generation at WWW’23, aligning LLMs for physical-safety-aware conversational agents during a postdoc at Georgia Tech, and shipping applied ML features in internships at Microsoft, Roku, and American Family Insurance. Now at Growth Protocol he focuses on neuro-symbolic reasoning to help enterprises make strategic decisions, blending research rigor with product impact. His background in computational and applied mathematics and early experience in game development give him a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to model design and evaluation. Colleagues describe him as someone who pairs deep technical fluency in SFT/PPO and retrieval with a knack for turning datasets into robust alignment outcomes. Based in Salt Lake City, he brings both research-first thinking and hands-on engineering to build safer, more useful conversational AI.
