Tianlin Liu

PhD candidate

University of Basel, Switzerland


I’m seeking full-time positions starting Fall or Winter 2024. If my experience would be a good fit for your organization, please feel free to contact me.

I am a PhD candidate in machine learning, currently pursuing my studies at the University of Basel in Switzerland. My PhD advisor is Prof. Ivan Dokmanić.

In the fall of 2023, I interned at Google DeepMind in Paris. In the summer of 2022, I interned at Google Brain in Zurich.

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.
