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.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
