Blue (Georgianna) Lin
Hey there! My name is Blue (Georgianna) Lin.
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto and a student researcher at Google Health. I currently work on health sensing techniques
and user-centered designs for health applications
, advised by Khai N. Truong and Alex Mariakakis. I am particularly passionate about understanding how consumer health devices can bridge the gap between raw health data and deeper insights into our well-being, especially for populations that have historically been underserved by traditional healthcare systems and technologies. By integrating multimodal health sensing techniques, I aim to design tools that enhance user agency and help individuals make informed decisions about their well-being in everyday contexts.
Previously, I completed my Bachelors and Masters in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology where I worked with Thad Starner and Neha Kumar. I am honored to have received several notable awards, including the Google PhD Fellowship, Wolfond Fellowship, and GVU Distinguished Masters Student Award.
