Hello there!
I'm Tianyi Lorena Yan Contact: tianyi.yan `at` usc.edu

I am an undergraduate student (Computer Science B.S.) at USC Viterbi. My research interests lie in developing more factual, robust, and efficient knowledge acquisition models.

I am grateful to be advised by Prof. Robin Jia and Prof. Muhao Chen. I have also had the pleasure to work with Professor Hao Zhou at AIR Tsinghua.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, playing the flute (occasionally piccolo; played for 8 years!) and piano, and listening to great soundtracks from movies and games (would love recommendation)!
