Scott (Yuanjia) Yang

Hello! I am Scott Yang. My Chinese name is 杨源嘉 (yáng yuán jiā). I am an incoming graduate student at the University of California, San Diego majoring in Computer Science. If you are one of my students in my TA-ing class or just want to talk to me, you can schedule a 15-minute one-to-one office hour with me

Over the past academic years, I have been actively participating in several undergraduate course developments, including but not limited to designing and developing homework, programming assignment, project, and exams. In addition, I also produced material for and hosted discussion sections for DSC 30 (Data Structures and Algorithm in Data Science). I have an insatiable passion for helping my peers and students to succeed in their academic journey, especially in programming knowledge and experience.

Last summer, I joined a research team led by professor Jason G. Fleischer at the department of Cognitive Science. We are interested in using machine learning models to classify memory retrieval types based on data gathered from a non-intrusive and inexpensive device called an electroencephalogram (EEG). We mainly focus on understanding and reproducing the original classifier in another programming platform.
