Top SchoolYichen Zhou is a data scientist and statistician with 11 years of quantitative experience focused on making shallow statistical learning models—particularly tree ensembles—more intelligible. After a PhD in Statistics and an MS in Computer Science from Cornell (and a BS from Tsinghua), he transitioned from academic teaching and internships at A9 and Facebook to a role at Google AI where he works on projects spanning Glassbox, LAMP, Athena and Google Research. He blends rigorous probabilistic training with hands-on machine learning engineering, informed by years teaching statistical computing and inference. Colleagues know him as a practical “big tech factotum” who bridges research and production, bringing interpretability insights into large-scale systems in Mountain View.
