Amelia (Hui) Dai

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in data science at UChicago Data Science Institue. I finished my master’s at NYU Center for Data Science, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Mengye Ren in the Agentic Learning AI Lab and Prof. Krzysztof J. Geras. Recently, my work includes LLMs in forecasting and evaluating the generalization ability of LLMs.
Previously, I completed my BS in Statistics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. Outside of school, I also do hiphop dancing!
