I'm Yaya (Jinya Jiang) 1, a first-year Master student in Machine Learning, Computer Science and Engineering at University of California, San Diego(UCSD).
Expected graduation time: June 2026.
I earned my BS in Computer Science at UCSD in 2024.
I have had the privilege of working with Prof. Jingbo Shang
as an research assistant in Shang Lab through the ERSP program at UCSD, where I began my journey in machine learning. I have also worked with
Prof. Chrsitine Alvarado through ERSP Summer program at UCSD to explore computing education.
Last updated: May 2025.
I am also broadly interested in the various applications of AI, e.g. LLM Agents, and AI in education.
