In grad school, I worked with breast cancer research scientists, and developed algorithms to reduce the cost of BRCA tests without sacrificing accuracy. That’s when I realized how impactful statistics and machine learning can be on our daily lives.

Yuan is a statistician and data scientist at GV.

Prior to joining GV, Yuan worked on the quantitative marketing team at Google from 2009 to 2013, and on the data science team at Dropbox from 2013 to 2015.
