Tianyi Lin

Welcome to my homepage!

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research (IEOR) at Columbia University. My research interests lie in optimization and machine learning, game theory, social and economic network, and optimal transport.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley, where I was advised by Professor Michael I. Jordan and was associated with the Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR) group. From 2023 to 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Information & Decision Systems (LIDS) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working with Professor Asuman Ozdaglar. Prior to that, I received a B.S. in Mathematics from Nanjing University, a M.S. in Pure Mathematics and Statistics from University of Cambridge and a M.S. in Operations Research from UC Berkeley.
