Jinjiang 'J.J.' Lian has always recognized the power of data science to drive social impact. While working as a data manager at a university healthcare facility, he realized he wanted to become a data scientist.
I decided that whether I ended up in healthcare, tech, or another industry altogether, I wanted to use my data skills to help people.
He chose to pursue a graduate degree in data science to serve people in whichever industry he landed. Attracted by the level of personalization available to students, as well as the abundant co-op opportunities, J.J. joined one of the first cohorts of the Master of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (MDSAI) program at @waterloo.math.
