Yiling Lin

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the School of Computing and Information at the University of Pittsburgh, where I work with Dr. Lingfei Wu. As a computational social scientist, I use large-scale data, network analysis, and AI to explore two motivating questions: where new ideas come from and how teams shape scientific discovery and innovation.

I actively publish and present in leading venues on science and innovation, including the general-audience journal Nature and field-specific venues such as the Journal of Informetrics (JOI), Quantitative Science Studies (QSS), the International Conference on the Science of Science and Innovation (ICSSI), the Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Scientific Texts (SciNLP), and the International Conference on Computational Social Science (IC2S2).
