Zhidi LIN
Hi there! 
I’m Zhidi Lin (林志地), a Research Fellow at the National University of Singapore (NUS) working with Prof. Alexandre Thiéry and Prof. Jeremy Heng. My research focuses on the intersection of control theory, generative modeling, and Bayesian inference to tackle challenges in high-dimensional dynamical systems.
I completed my Ph.D. from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen) in 2024, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Feng Yin and Prof. Shuguang (Robert) Cui.
Research Interests:
My work focuses on data-driven modeling and uncertainty quantification, with a focus on:
- Dynamical systems (Bayesian inference, data assimilation)
- Generative models (Diffusion models, Gaussian processes, VAEs, etc)
- High-dimensional statistical learning
- Applications: Target tracking, fault detection, time-series forecasting, etc
I am passionate about interdisciplinary research and welcome collaborations with statisticians, AI researchers, and signal processing experts. If you’d like to discuss ideas or potential projects, feel free to reach out at zhidilin@link.cuhk.edu.cn or linzhidi017@gmail.com!
