Summary
Zhouhao Zeng is a Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI with nine years of experience building production-grade ML and generative AI systems. Previously a multi-role leader at Meta, he helped found teams across Reels, Ads, and Meta AI where he led agentic LLM capabilities, robotics vision-language-action models, and large-scale recommendation and privacy-preserving ads systems. He has a strong research foundation (PhD in Bioinformatics & Computational Biophysics) and a track record of translating advanced models into product wins—driving major growth and performance improvements for low-signal users and Reels. Comfortable owning end-to-end stacks from retrieval and ranking to model deployment, he blends deep technical leadership with product impact. Based in the Bay Area, Zhouhao brings interdisciplinary roots from applied physics to bioinformatics, which informs his pragmatic approach to complex modeling and real-world system constraints. Notably, he has repeatedly served as a founding technical lead, turning nascent research directions into productionized capabilities.
