Summary
Frances Lin is a PhD-level statistician and software engineer with eight years of experience bridging Bayesian time-series modeling and practical machine learning implementations. Currently a doctoral researcher at Oregon State University, she compares Bayesian generative MTD models with deep learning LSTMs for forecasting, bringing rigorous probabilistic thinking to applied forecasting problems. She has consulting experience across experimental design, spatial-temporal modeling, and classical statistical testing, and contributed to the Tidymodels ecosystem during a software engineering internship at Posit. Comfortable in R and Python, Frances combines academic rigor (multiple advanced degrees in statistics) with hands-on engineering in open-source ML tooling, making her adept at turning complex statistical models into usable software. An early background in earth and space sciences and coursework in math and CS gives her interdisciplinary perspective that helps translate domain problems into statistical solutions.
