About Me
Hello, I'm Chenfeng Li—welcome to my page!
I am a Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer with a strong foundation in statistics and applied mathematics, specializing in end-to-end data systems that bridge machine learning, data engineering, and real-world deployment.
I am currently an intern at Packet Digital in North Dakota, where I have been working since October 2025. The company specializes in battery and drone technologies, and a new cell manufacturing plant with an R&D laboratory is being established. I support multiple aspects of the construction, including regularly communicating with contractors to track progress, coordinating with IT teams to manage data about process equipment, and most importantly, applying my Machine Learning and AI expertise to accelerate product and process development. My recent projects include an early-stage battery degradation prediction model and a semantic segmentation system for land cover classification using aerial photos.
I earned a Master of Science in Statistics from the University of Chicago in June 2024, following a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). My interest in Data Science and Machine Learning began in 2017 after AlphaGo’s breakthrough, and since then I have built a strong foundation in statistical modeling and machine learning, including deep neural networks and transformer models. My master’s thesis, completed under Professor Schein, examined the relationship between media bias and facial expressions of politicians from news images.
Previously I worked as a Data Scientist at Synergistic IT (2023-2025), where I developed client-facing data solutions across multiple industries. My work included building cloud-based data pipelines, machine learning models, advanced analytics workflows, and interactive dashboards. I aquired professional experience and strengthened my ability to translate technical methods into practical business impact.
