Zhidi LIN

👨🏻‍🎓 About Me

Hi there! I am Zhidi Lin (林志地), a Research Fellow collaborating with Prof. Alexandre Thiéry and Prof. Jeremy Heng on inference in high-dimensional dynamical systems using techniques from control theory and generative modeling. Previously, I earned my Ph.D. in Computer and Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen), under the supervision of Prof. Feng Yin and Prof. Shuguang Cui. Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I received my M.Sc. degree from Xiamen University in 2019, under the supervision of Prof. Qi Yang and Prof. Xuemin Hong. From Aug. 2017 to Mar. 2019, I was a research associate at Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data (SRIBD), working with Prof. Dongliang Duan and Prof. Liuqing Yang.
