Ph.D. in Computer Engineering

New York, NY, 10003

Tong Wu is a Research Scientist @Meta in NYC office. He works on developing next generation of AI systems and infrastructures.

Tong attained Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering at Rutgers University in 2023, supervised by Dr. Jorge Ortiz. His research interest is developing deep multi-modal models for timing and attention predictions during human-computer interaction. His work focuses on improving system objectives and user experience by learning human behaviors. Much of his work have been applied to a broad range of sensing systems including smart vehicles, smart robots and smart buildings by machine learning, multi-modal learning, human-computer interaction.

Tong attained M.S. degree in Computer Engineering at Rutgers University in 2019, and B.S. in Electronic and Information Engineering at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2018.

Tong worked as a Senior Data Scientist @Anthem in 2023. He interned as a Research Scientist @Meta in 2022, Research Scientist @Honda Research Institute in 2021, Software Engineer @Amazon Web Services in 2019, Software Engineer @Alibaba Group in 2018.
