Mei Chen

Mei holds a B.Sc. in Bioinformatics from Tsinghua University and an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of British Columbia. She analyzed large genomic datasets before joining platform teams that power research analytics at scale. Working with scientists taught her to respect reproducibility and to love a well-labeled dataset. Her articles explain data governance, privacy-preserving analytics, and the everyday work of making science repeatable in the cloud. Mei mentors students on open science practices, contributes documentation to research tooling, and maintains example repos people actually fork. Off hours, she explores tea varieties, walks forest trails with a camera, and slowly reacquaints herself with Chopin on an old piano.
