Hi! Sophia / 孙慧文 here.

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at UC San Diego, advised by prof. Rose Yu, working on machine learning for spatiotemporal data.

I obtained my B.A. in mathematics and computer science at Wellesley College. In summer 2018 I interned at Google DeepMind to work on ML for healthcare, and in summer 2020 at Amazon Robotics to work on reinforcement learning for multi-robot planning.

Outside of my work, I'm interested in machine creativity and digital humanities.
