Yu Wu Asher

I’m a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta.

My research interests span a broad range of topics in Machine Learning. I’m currently focused on scaling industrial machine learning systems with pretrained foundation models.

I received my Master’s degree in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science at George Washington University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Robert Pless.

Before that, I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China.
