Join us for an in-person dinner or virtual meeting with Lydia Yu! Students can attend in person to enjoy dinner while meeting Lydia, or join virtually via Zoom (which will be projected for all in-person participants).

Lydia is experienced in building data science and machine learning solutions within a variety of fields, ranging from finance and real estate to academic research and consulting. She currently works as a data scientist at Visa where she builds the deep learning fraud detection models that all Visa card transactions go through. Prior to this role, she worked at IBM Consulting where she developed machine learning solutions for a variety of external clients and helped lead the initial movement towards GenAI product development on her team. She is passionate about constantly learning new skills, building strong teams, and empowering women in tech.

Lydia earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees from MIT in 2022 - one in Business Analytics and another in Computer Science, Economics, and Data Science. During her time at MIT, she lived in Next House, was involved in MISTI Spain and S-Lab, and participated in Extreme PE for intramural sports. She is also currently an alumni advisor for MIT students.
