Research Scientist @ Meta | GenAI
I am a Research Scientist at Meta, where I develop memory and learning methods that enable LLM agents to retain, retrieve, update, and reason over experience across long-horizon interactions. Prior to Meta, I was a Machine Learning Engineer at Visa, and I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Merced, focusing on machine learning-augmented ubiquitous computing systems. I hold M.S. and B.S. degrees in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University. Please feel free to contact me via email (yzhang58 at ucmerced dot edu).
