Peter Wei, Ph.D.

I'm a Machine Learning Research Scientist at Meta Platforms Inc., where I work on recommender systems. I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University, where I studied with Professor Xiaofan Jiang. For my Ph.D. thesis, I studied energy footprinting and optimization in commercial buildings. I'm broadly interested in cyber-physical systems, robotics, and recommender systems.
