Hi there! My name is Tina.

I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Decision and Risk Analysis within Management Science & Engineering and a Ph.D. Minor in Computer Science at Stanford University. My research develops the principled ways to apply machine learning and/or artificial intelligence in domains of medicine and environmental sciences. I believe in decision-driven data acquisition and analyses, not the other way round.

My previous research interests include decision analysis in social entrepreneurship and modeling matching & pricing with friction between investors and entrepreneurs. Before graduate school, my full-time professional experiences were in pension consulting and personal property & casualty insurance lines. I passed four Society of Actuaries examinations:

• Exam 1/Probability
• Exam 2/Financial Mathematics
• Exam LC/Models for Life Contingencies
• Exam 4/Construction and Evaluation of Actuarial Models

I hold an M.S. in Management Science & Engineering (technical and engineering management) from Stanford University and B.A.s in Statistics and Economics from University of California - Berkeley.
