Hi, I'm Xinyan! 

I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Southern California, pursuing a B.S. in Applied Mathematics with minors in Applied Data Analytics and Cultural Anthropology. My passion lies at the intersection of mathematical theory and real-world application, and I believe that the best solutions come from understanding both the data and the human context behind it. 

​

Currently, I wear two hats: as a Machine Learning Engineer with the USC DataSC Club, where I am building content-based music recommendation engines, and as an Analysis Engineer at the USC Rocket Propulsion Laboratory, where I conduct structural simulations to validate flight hardware.

 

Whether I am optimizing code in Python or analyzing structural integrity in ANSYS, I am driven by data, efficiency, and the challenge of solving complex problems.

​

When I’m not in the lab or coding, I’m likely playing piano, or mentoring local students on the basketball court. I am eager to bring my technical skills and collaborative spirit to a forward-thinking team.

​

I am seeking internship opportunities where I can leverage my skills in machine learning, data analysis, and engineering simulation to make a tangible impact.​
