I'm Yingying Gong.

I'm an undergraduate at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) studying Computer Science. Recently I am exploring generative modeling on biological data. I previously interned at New Relic to build machine learning models for CPU utilization prediction.

In my free time time, I am a passionate reader, cook, driver, and cyclist. I like to learn new things and meet new people.

About me

Junior undergraduate studying CS at Caltech. I'm passionate about machine learning (for sciences), (low-level) software engineering, and applied probability. Recently I am exploring generative modeling on biological data. I previously interned at New Relic to build machine learning models for CPU utilization prediction. I am an easy-going person who loves to learn new things and meet new people.
