Senior🎓
Top SchoolJialin Li is a Staff Research Scientist in Decision Sciences with eight years of experience applying AI, machine learning, and data engineering to large-scale and geospatial datasets. With a PhD in Geographic Information Science and a master’s in Computer Science from Ohio State, she bridges cartography and ML to extract structure and semantics from map imagery and historical spatial data. At Epsilon she has advanced customer-targeting models into production using distributed tools like Apache Spark/Scala and Hive, and introduced optimization techniques to improve scalability and accuracy. Her academic work includes georeferencing historical Sanborn maps to reconstruct vanished urban footprints, reflecting a knack for turning messy, real-world spatial data into actionable insights. Colleagues describe her as a computational researcher who pairs rigorous theory with practical engineering to move research into operational analytics.
