Gang Wu joined Adobe Research (BEL-SEL)  in San Jose  as a Research Scientist after being a research intern in STL for a few years in the Video Systems group conducting comprehensive research on recommender systems and user engagement maximization. His internship work in the Video Systems group has led to multiple academic papers, patents, a technology transfer to Adobe Target and Primetime, and even a media exposure (see “Meet the Intern Who Knows What Videos You Want to Watch”).  Prior to joining Adobe, Gang was working on his PhD in Electrical Engineering at Iowa State University, where his research focus on probabilistic methods for matrix completion.

His research interests span various domains such as machine learning, statistical signal processing, and applied statistics.
