Casper Jiayi Lin

Science has not just provided me with a body of knowledge but more on the ways of thinking. 

I love transferring the theoretical knowledge into my practical use; statistics taught me to draw meticulous conclusions; linguistics provided me with a foundational background to my legal thinking, which I apply beyond just academics but in real life. I am person who appreciates the arts of both compliance with rules and creatively thinking outside the box. I am loyal, diligent, and a 'can-do' person.

I live my life inside the realm of rational optimism. Challenges and obstacles never frustrate me; tackling down complicated problems with the best of my effort and not complaining over situations make me a brilliant employee, knowing I do well under pressure and will only get smarter and stronger through the lessons of failures.

I have wide range of interests, but at the end of the day, you've got the biggest chance of finding me in the local gym, or holding latte in a random cafe.

My educational journey includes a BA in cognitive linguistics with a commendable academic record. While my focus was primarily on computational and neurological aspects of linguistics, I also gained proficiency in programming languages like Python and R Studio for statistical analysis, as well as extensive training in Excels and Oracle. The utilisation of these digital tools and conducting statistical analysis were my second nature; they were a significant part of my undergraduate experience, as I worked closely with these digital tools for achieving research objectives, such as data collection, visualisation, and analysis. During my third year, I broadened my horizons by taking elective courses in Business Administration and Law at Leiden University. This experience enhanced my analytical and critical-thinking abilities, complementing my linguistics background from a different perspective yet contributed tremendously into my problem-solving.
