Meet Yingyu Lin

Tell us a bit about yourself

I come from southern China and completed my undergraduate studies in Mathematics at Tsinghua University. During my time there, I attended various seminars and discussion groups covering diverse topics, inspiring my decision to explore further in research during my graduate studies. I am currently in my second year of pursuing a Ph.D. in data science.

What are you studying/researching?

I am currently working on the intersection of statistical sampling and differential privacy under the guidance of Dr. Yi-An Ma. Additionally, I am exploring causal discovery with Dr. Biwei Huang.

Tell us about your campus involvement at UC San Diego

I served as a Teaching Assistant for DSC 40A (Theoretical Foundations of Data Science I). Additionally, I participated in Triton Photography Club events, connecting with friends who share a passion for photography. My favorite on-campus activity is the photo walk.

Why UC San Diego?

I chose UC San Diego due to my interest for the research conducted by my advisor's group and the opportunities for collaboration with accomplished faculty and talented peers. The favorable weather and scenic views further enhanced my decision.
