Lingqiang Kong
Metis Sr. Data Scientist

Before coming to Metis, Lingqiang got her Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience at Boston University, building machine learning models to decode different attentional states of the brain from neuroimaging data. She also studied the connectivity patterns of cortical nodes when the brain is at rest, a technique that sheds light into early detection of traumatic brain injuries (read: war veterans and football players etc). She later worked at an e-commerce company building search and recommendation tools. In her spare time, Lingqiang likes mystery novels and all things Sherlock. Her favorite food is the spicy cumin lamb skewers (yangrou chuan), a quintessential street food in northern China.
