Dr. Tony TUNG
Director of AI Research at Meta Superintelligence Labs
San Francisco Bay Area, USA
Research and engineering leader with 15+ years building and scaling AI systems at the intersection of multimodal learning, generative models, and real-time 3D human modeling. Proven track record in team building (30+ engineers and scientists), cross-functional collaboration, and bringing AI research into product reality.
I received my Ph.D. degree from Telecom Paris, France, and I was an Assistant Professor at Kyoto University, Matsuyama Lab., Japan. My past positions also include: Lead Scientist/Group Manager at Rakuten, Tokyo, Japan (CV for e-commerce), R&D Engineer at Trimble, Paris area, France (3D laser scanner), and Software Engineer at Alcatel, Paris area, France (mobile services).
