About Me

---

Hello! My name is Jeong Hin Chin, and I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Information Science (Data Science) at the University of Michigan. I completed my Bachelor of Science with a triple major in Honors Data Science, Honors Asian Studies (Chinese), and Statistics from the same institution in April 2023.

I am passionate about data science, machine learning, and human-computer interaction. My academic and professional journey has provided me with extensive experience in teaching, research, and leadership. Currently, I serve as a Graduate Student Instructor for the Information Analytics Project course (SI 405 & SI 485) at the University of Michigan, where I guide students in applying their analytical skills to real-world projects.

Over the years, I have worked as a Research Associate with esteemed professors and labs, such as Prof. Rahul Ladhania’s group and Tandem Lab, contributing to significant projects that span topics like cognitive diagnosis models, health interventions in India, vaccine hesitancy in Indonesia, and team dynamics in educational settings. My research work has resulted in numerous publications in journals and conferences, demonstrating my commitment to advancing knowledge in data science and education.

In addition to my research and teaching experience, I have completed internships at organizations such as American Airlines, where I performed advanced data analysis and developed algorithms for guest pass pricing optimization and guest pass demand forecasting. I also worked as a Robotic Process Automation Intern at the University of Michigan’s Shared Services Center, where I developed automation solutions that saved over 1,500 employee hours annually.

Beyond my professional work, I am an active leader and volunteer. I am a founding member and treasurer of Buddhism at the University of Michigan and have held leadership positions in the Malaysian Students' Association. I also led efforts to help local businesses go online during the COVID-19 pandemic by building free websites and offering technical support.

I am proficient in various programming languages, including Python, R, C++, and SQL, and have experience with technologies such as PyTorch, Scikit-learn, Automation 360, and cloud computing. My passion for technology is matched by my interest in languages—I am fluent in Malay, Mandarin, and English, and conversational in Japanese, Hokkien, Hakka, and Cantonese.

When I’m not working on my latest project or research, you can find me mentoring students, exploring new technologies, or learning about different cultures and culinary arts. I look forward to collaborating with others and continuing to explore the intersection of data science, education, and human connection.
