PhD candidate, University of Basel

Hi there! I’m Tianlin.

I’m a research scientist at Google DeepMind, Paris. I obtained my PhD with Prof. Ivan Dokmanić at the University of Basel in Switzerland. I received BSc (2016) and MSc (2019) both from Jacobs University Bremen; during my time there, I completed my master’s thesis under the guidance of Prof. Herbert Jaeger.
