Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZihan Li is a research-focused engineer with six years of experience bridging data science, neuroscience, and game security, currently working in the DISIDE lab at UF Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. He holds a BS in Statistics from the University of Washington and is pursuing a PhD in Industrial & Systems Engineering, combining rigorous quantitative training with applied experimental work. Zihan has implemented advanced neural population analyses (demixed PCA) in Python and MATLAB to decode orofacial sensorimotor activity, demonstrating proficiency in both algorithm development and neurodata interpretation. His industry stint at ByteDance sharpened his operational security skills, where he automated anti-cheat strategies and built end-to-end feedback mechanisms for large-scale game systems. Comfortable moving between academic research and product-adjacent engineering, he brings a pragmatic focus on reproducible analysis, system safety, and measurable impact. A not-obvious strength is his ability to translate complex statistical methods into production-ready tools that inform both scientific insight and operational decision-making.
