Michelle Lin

Profile

I am a MSc student at the University of Montreal & Mila - Quebec AI Institute.

Prior, I completed my Bachelors in Computer Science at McGill University, where I was also a Research Assistant under the supervision of Professor David Rolnick.

Currently, I apply deep learning methods combined to satellite imagery/geo-spatial data — a form of remote sensing in computer vision, and algorithmic bias in model design. I'm also concerned with topics of data governance and AI regulation.

I value interdisciplinary work and collaboration. My research interests also include ethics, algorithmic fairness and societal implications of socio-technical machine learning applications.
