Learning Assistants Fall 2026

I am a rising senior from Hue, Vietnam, majoring in Neural Science and Social Science. I'm truly excited to be your Learning Assistant for Foundations of Biology II and Intro to Neural Science. I have been working on research projects on the molecular mechanisms behind fear memory and pathological behavior in mice. If this sounds exciting to you, I'm more than happy to chat! Outside of class, I am also a Resident Assistant on-campus, and I love to cook Asian food, hike random places, and do K-pop dancing. Excited to see you all with your burning questions!

Hi all, I'm Yuchen (Eason) Shi, a senior majoring in Chemistry and Data Science. My academic interests lie at the intersection of molecular science and computational science. I've worked on research projects related to computational photochemistry, machine-learning interatomic potential (MLIP), and chemical language models (CLMs). Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing sports and cooking. Feel free to stop by the ARC if you have any questions about the courses I’m tutoring. I look forward to seeing you!

Hi, I’m Jinyu Zheng, a senior majoring in Biology and Data Science. I’m especially interested in human diseases and hope to crack one someday in the future. I binge-watch all the time, I enjoy traveling, and my favorite game so far is Disco Elysium. My goal this semester is to regain a healthy sleeping schedule.Feel free to drop by to chat about anything, hope you all enjoy your time here! 

Hi, I'm Leia, a sophomore majoring in business and marketing and planning to double major in social science in the future. Outside of class, I enjoy movies, photography and traveling. I am delighted and excited to be an LA for Honors Calculus and Introduction to Linguistics next semester. I am dedicated to helping students deepen their understanding based on their existing knowledge, so please don't hesitate to reach out. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi everyone! I’m Xinyao Yi, a senior at NYU Shanghai majoring in Neuroscience with minors in Mathematics and Philosophy. I’m excited to join the Learning Assistant team, as this will be my first experience tutoring science and math courses. I enjoy creating mind maps and connecting ideas across topics, so I love helping students see the bigger picture rather than just memorizing individual concepts. Please feel free to reach out with questions. Even if you don’t have a specific question, you’re always welcome to stop by and discuss ideas. I look forward to learning with you!
