Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhengze Zhou is a research scientist at Meta with a PhD in Statistics from Cornell and eight years of experience at the intersection of statistical inference and machine learning. His background spans rigorous academic training—4.0/4.0 PhD and teaching across probability, linear models, and applied Python—to hands-on applied roles at Meta, Facebook Ads ranking, Amazon Autocomplete, and A9 search. He focuses on principled inference for modern ML methods, bringing theory-driven solutions to production-scale ranking and search problems. Comfortable moving between research and engineering, he leverages deep probabilistic intuition from Peking University and Cambridge study to tackle cold-start and ranking challenges rarely addressed purely by engineering teams.
