Graduate Student Instructor
About
Yuganshi is a Master's student in Data Science at the University of Michigan, working at the intersection of machine learning, natural language processing, and software engineering. Her background spans computer science and software engineering and now data science, which mostly means she's spent a lot of time figuring out how systems break and much more time figuring out why.
She is excited to work with COMPFOR 111 students because the course sits right at the place where computing meets justice and critical theory, an intersection she finds herself drawn to more and more. Code is never just code; it carries assumptions about who gets seen, served, or left out, and she's looking forward to digging into that with students who are encountering these questions for the first time.
When not coding or teaching, Yuganshi can usually be found painting, reading, binge-watching a good show, or planning her next trip, usually all in the same week and rarely in that order.
Yuganshi serves as a GSI for COMPFOR 111: "Computing's Impact on Justice: From Text to the Web" in FA26.
