Namyong Park
Postdoctoral Researcher at Meta AI
About
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Meta AI, where I develop methods for efficient optimization and representation learning of graph neural networks and large language models. I received my PhD in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University, where I was advised by Prof. Christos Faloutsos. During my PhD, I also spent time at Adobe Research (2021), Microsoft Research (2020), and Amazon (2019, 2018) as a research intern. My PhD studies were supported by the Bloomberg Data Science PhD Fellowship and the ILJU Foundation PhD Fellowship.
