Ziyi (Francis) Yin - 尹梓屹
About me
I am a PhD student in Computational Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Felix J. Herrmann. I work in SLIM (Seismic Laboratory for Imaging and Modeling) group mainly on robust and low-cost methods for time-lapse seismic monitoring of geological carbon storage.
In general, my research interests include (but not limited to)
- machine learning
- large-scale inverse problems
- scientific computing
- PDE-constrained optimization
- computational imaging
- uncertainty quantification
Before coming to Georgia Tech, I graduated from Emory University in 2019, with a summa cum laude Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. I conducted research on regularization methods for image reconstruction from CT scans, advised by Prof. James G. Nagy and wrote my honors thesis, Edge Detection and Enriched Subspaces.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf, basketball and hiking.
