Marina Langlois

Hi, I am Marina and I am originally from Russia (not France!). I moved to Chicago to continue my education and I earned my PhD in Computer Science from UIC. Then I worked at Yeshiva University, NYC and then moved to San Diego. I was a member of CS department at first but moved to Data Science and I am loving it! I am excited to be your instructor for this quarter and you are welcome to stop by just to chat :) Fun fact: I play ping pong!💃

Hi! I'm Fong, a Data Science major at UC San Diego. I've worked on projects ranging from machine learning research to fun hackathon apps that blend AI with creative problem-solving. I love finding ways to make complex topics easier to understand, which is why I enjoy tutoring and sharing what I've learned. My primary hobby is listening to music. I am open to any new song suggestions! Looking forward to a fun quarter!
