I am Max Yueqian Lin. I will join the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University as a PhD student in Fall 2024. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yiran Chen and Prof. Hai “Helen” Li. Previously, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Data Science from Duke Kunshan University in May 2024, graduating summa cum laude and with signature work distinction.

I embrace cultural experiences and self-expression through music. In addition, my adventures, from skiing escapades to academic exchanges across continents, contribute to a global perspective that I bring to my research and collaborative endeavors. Each experience, whether exhilarating or daunting, shapes the researcher and person I am today.
