Zhiyuan Liu is a research scientist at Meta AI Integrity with a PhD in Computer Science from UNC Chapel Hill and eight years of experience working at the intersection of graph learning, shape analysis, and statistics on non-Euclidean manifolds. His background blends academic rigor—multi-year graduate research producing open-source tools like SlicerSALT and novel multi-object shape analysis methods—with industry experience in medical imaging and radiotherapy software engineering. He has led projects that improved clinical workflows and performance (including halving mesh generation time) and has applied causal analysis to poverty-reduction programs, showing a rare mix of methodological depth and applied impact. Based in Menlo Park, he focuses on bringing geometric and statistical insights to real-world AI integrity and medical imaging challenges, often turning complex mathematical ideas into practical, open-source tools.
