I lead the Search Quality team in DoorDash. My team is responsible for end-to-end Search ML of DoorDash, including query understanding, retrieval, and ranking.
Before that, I lead the whole page optimization team in Amazon Search. My career began as a research scientist at Xerox PARC, and my interest in books led me to applying ML to Amazon Kindle, where I grew into an engineering leader. Between 2011 and 2015, I was a serial entrepreneur, venturing at the intersection of tech and business. Since 2015, my passion for machine learning has led me back to applying deep learning to recommendation systems at Hulu, Facebook AI, SmartNews, and Amazon Search.
I got my bachelor of engineering degree from Tsinghua University and PhD degree in Machine Learning from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
In my spare time, I enjoy theater performances, Tai Chi and meditation.

Eric is an excellent mentor, offering invaluable career advice and in-depth industry insights that have significantly contributed to my career growth. He is very thoughtful and mentee-oriented (and also has very strong tech background), always providing clear guidance on where to focus my efforts, which has been incredibly helpful. Beyond just providing direction, Eric always recommends learning resources and opportunities to help me grow. I’m grateful to have Eric as my mentor, and I have learned so much from him. "Thank you so much for your mentorship and for believing in my potential. I truly appreciate everything you’ve shared with me."
