Yin Lou

I am a 4th year Ph.D. candidate at Department of Computer Science, Cornell University. My advisor is Johannes Gehrke. I obtained my B.Sc. degree from Fudan University in 2009. I am interested in data mining, machine learning and computer vision.

Personally, I love classical music. J.S.Bach and Mozart are my favorite composers.

I taught CS 2022 Introduction to C in Spring'11 and CS 2026 Introduction to C# in Spring'10.

My Curriculum Vitae can be found here.
