I’m Xin Lian (He/Him), a Master of Science in Computational Science and Engineering student at Georgia Tech 🐝. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Jinan University, China, and my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics with Mathematics from the University of Birmingham, UK.

I’m broadly interested in human-like learning systems, concept learning, computational cognitive science, cognitive systems, and AI in general. I’m currently working closely with Chris MacLellan and focusing on research on the human-like learning systems. I’m also working with Sashank Varma on the studies of human categorization learning.

My CV. My current research focus: in the research tab.

Starting in Fall 2024, I’ll work with Ken Forbus as a PhD student in Computer Science at Northwestern University 🐈.
