Summary
👤
SeniorLinghao Zhang is a Staff Research Engineer based in Mountain View with 11 years of experience building generative AI systems and production-grade ML infrastructure. He currently leads personalization efforts for Gemini at Google DeepMind, driving end-to-end improvements from post-training and synthetic data creation to retrieval, ranking, and summarization to make assistants genuinely useful. Previously he led full-stack GenAI work at Google—spanning application-layer agents, inference throughput optimizations, and model tuning (SFT, RL, preference optimization)—and helped architect Looker Studio’s backend and federated query engine. Comfortable moving between research and production, he combines deep academic training (CMU, Fudan) with pragmatic engineering, and a background in GPU-accelerated ML systems from an NVIDIA research internship. Colleagues describe him as focused on measurable quality gains and preserving authenticity in AI-driven experiences.
