Hi, I'm
Yishu Xue

Data Scientist Runner Animal Lover Gym Enthusiast

Ph.D. in Statistics and a data science passionate. I love data and programming — together they help us approximate the underlying, ever-unknown truths about the world. Currently a Senior Quantitative Analyst at Google.

Outside of work: learning Spanish, into aviation & photography, a casi-serious runner and newbie snowboarder.
