Jian worked on my team for almost two years, and during that time, Jian continually impressed me. She was very receptive of new ideas and suggestions, and she was very efficient and agile at pursuing them. Oftentimes by the end of the day, Jian would have already tested ideas brought up earlier on the same day. Commendably, in addition to actively exploring new directions, she contributed extensively to improving the LinkedIn job recommendation system. She was excellent at thinking outside of the box and coming up with original solutions. Overall, she was a delight to work with. Given the opportunity, I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.", "Jian is one of the most impressive data scientists I have had the chance to work with. I met Jian at Recsys where she had won best short paper award and we were able to lure her into an internship at LinkedIn. During this short period, Jian solved a key problem with job recommendations, which has to do with when to make such recommendations. Jian developed a novel, statistically sound approach estimating the likelihood of a user's decision to make a job transition at a certain time, using survival analysis in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. This work which resulted in a publication at WWW conference was also shown to have strong business impact, generating significant lifts in job views and applications on LinkedIn. After Jian joined LinkedIn for good she rapidly became the lead modeler for job recommendations, revealing excellence in data science and software engineering. I can't wait to be able to work with Jian again.", and "Jian's professional contributions can be best described as "prolific". I met her a few years ago at a conference and offered an internship at our Applied Research team at LinkedIn and she has made expeditious progress ever since leading upto becoming a Staff Researcher at LI, a commendable feat under any scenario. Her technical acumen, ownership of initiatives, focus on results, penchant for learning and discipline on timely delivery is beyond reproach and exemplary. I will hop on the opportunity of working with her again in a heartbeat."
