Undergraduate at Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute - UC SanDiego

About Me

Hi! My name is Kaiwen Bian and I am a 4th year undergraduate student at UC SanDiego double majoring in Data Science and Cognitive Behavoral Neuroscience. I am mentored by Talmo Pereira from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Scott Linderman from the Statistics Department and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University.

My research interest mostly focus on solving interesting yet computationally complex problems by looking at them from different disciplines's lens (biological, computational, mathematical), particularly those relevant to controls & embodied robotic. Check the Ideology section for some of my research philosophy.

Outside of my academic life, I enjoy skateboarding, diving into the world of exercise physiology, and immersing myself in the serenity of the natural world
