About Daniel Lu
Hi! This is the part where I label myself as a “technologist” or “engineer” or something. But to be honest, I just see myself as a storyteller. And at the moment, coding and data are my preferred mediums for doing so. I am also just fascinated by AI in terms of its creative potential and the challenges it presents to the way we make things.Professionally, I am seeking a role in the data science and machine learning fields. Having gone through a PhD involving data collection and statistical learning analysis, I know I can just get into a flow state when coding models and figuring out how to showcase data to convey meaningful insights. And whatever role that is, I’d like to stay close to the ever-evolving developments in AI.Beyond these professional career goals, I like working on side projects that explore the more fundamental aspects of AI: how complexity can emerge from elegant frameworks, how something numerically defined can (and cannot) mirror human thought processes. The skills I’ve developed from my PhD research using VR, wearables and machine learning have provided me a broad foundation from which to build off for these projects. Check out my GitHub and website.And in what little remains of my free time after that, I enjoy all forms of storytelling: film, books, graphic design, photography. In one way or another, I believe that all of it comes back to inform how I tell a story.
