Hi! I'm Stone Yang, an Engineering Science student pursuing a Robotics Engineering major at the University of Toronto.
I'm currently a machine learning researcher at Sunnybrook Research Institute, developing a model to analyze actigraphy signals and preparing my findings for publication.
I also have a fervent passion for innovation, which drives me to create projects that turn my silly ideas into a slightly less silly reality.

In my free time, I like to hit the gym and go for runs. I'm also on a mission to read a book a month; I'm currently reading the classic "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.
I love learning new skills! I'm currently learning the piano, and improving my geographical knowledge on the world's countries (I am memorizing mountain ranges to improve in GeoGuessr)
I'm also a huge fan of board games and an adventerous foodie. Depending on my internship offers and the size of my bank account, I might also develop a passion for travelling!
