Keyu Wang
McGill University. Aspiring Data Scientist | Undergraduate Research Assistant
I am a 4th-year undergraduate student at the McGill University’s Computer Science program with a minor in Geographical Information Science. Currently, I am supervised by Professor Doina Precup (affiliations: Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, AI Applications, reasoning and planning under uncertainty), working on privacy issues in Large Language Models towards possible privacy policy creation for LLM publications in the future.
In the past, I was supervised by Professor Raja Sengupta (affiliations: GIScience, Spatial decision support systems, Agent-based modeling), working on project website development, webmap data visualization for possible migrations taken by nobles in early imperial China (Western Han period). I also had an internship at Bell Canada as a Data Scientist, working on building ML solutions to business problems.

interests/ hobbies
I am an active dancer at K-RAVE McGill and East2West. I enjoy performing and producing K-POP dancer cover videos.
I have been involved in a video production team for the last 5 years, with a main interest in food documentaries & travel vlogs. Check out my videography & graphic design portfolio here!
The most exciting part of travelling to me is to embrace the culture from underrated local food and the interaction with locals during my food hunting journey. With my skills in video production, I'm glad that I could record my adventures with food!
