Rebecca Lin

Rebecca is a PhD student at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Media Lab, where she is advised by Erik Demaine and Zach Lieberman. She integrates mathematics and computation with art, design, and fabrication to develop new tools, abstractions, and processes that expand creative possibilities. Most recently, she has worked on computational approaches to sustainable fashion at Adobe Research and on shape-changing structures at the University of Tokyo. Prior to her doctoral studies, Rebecca earned her BSc in Computer Science from the University of British Columbia, where she studied theoretical computer science and computer graphics under the mentorship of William Evans, Craig Kaplan, and Alla Sheffer.
