Allan Wu

I'm a rising senior at Yale, studying English and Computer Science & Mathematics. Bay Area native, still figuring out how to brave East Coast winters.

I'm interested in:

• technology & products, spent summers at Facebook, Bell Labs, and Greylock Partners
• writing
• basketball analytics ever since I once played in a ruthless, take-no-prisoners kind of fantasy basketball league and fell in love with modeling NBA data
• leveraging computational techniques in interdisciplinary spaces, which started when I investigated the onset of depression through fMRI analysis at the Center for Understanding Biology Using Imaging Technology and continued in college through my research in the influence of learning & memory on risk-taking at the Berkeley Haas Neuroeconomics Lab and, most recently, anomaly detection techniques on healthcare data at the Krishnaswamy Lab
• reading - some books I've enjoyed
• democratizing and transparentizing politics at Polimorphic
• the outdoors
• ultimate frisbee since who doesn't love running around after aerodynamic plastic discs
• education, having realized how easily transformative it can be for individuals & communities in my time helping lead Kids Are Scientists Too, a nonprofit that provides free afterschool STEM programs to underserved regions
• music, - I'm a huge hiphop head
