Zhiyuan Jerry Lin 林致远

I am a research scientist at Meta on the Central Applied Science team.

My research interests include computational social science, algorithm-assisted human decision making, data science, applied Bayesian statistics and machine learning. I leverage quantitative methods and computational tools to help people understand large datasets and facilitate better human decision making. My work has been covered in the New York Times, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, the Verge, Washington Post, MIT Technology Review, Scientific American, and other places.

I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Stanford University advised by Sharad Goel and B.S. in computer science with a minor in probability and statistics from Georgia Institute of Technology. You can reach me at zylin@cs.stanford.edu.

Hello! This is Mr. Lin. Uh, actually, it's Dr. Lin now.
