Noah McLean

Noah, a native of Seattle, is a Computer Science graduate student at the University of Chicago, studying topics ranging from operating systems to computational linguistics. Through his work on the text team, he has developed an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) pipeline, several natural language processing machine learning models, and thorough analysis of current word embedding models.

From an early age, Noah’s love of puzzles, science fiction, and Legos led him down a technical path to programming and software development. Outside of research, Noah is a keen puzzler and an avid baker.
