Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute PI, Assistant Professor at IIIS, Tsinghua.
Yang Yuan is now an assistant professor at IIIS, Tsinghua. He finished his undergraduate study at Peking University in 2012. Afterwards, he received his PhD at Cornell University in 2018, advised by Professor Robert Kleinberg. During his PhD, he was a visiting student at MIT/Microsoft New England (2014-2015) and Princeton University (2016 Fall). Before joining Tsinghua, he spent one year at MIT Institute for Foundations of Data Science (MIFODS) as a postdoc researcher. He works on AI+Healthcare, AI Theory and Applied Category Theory.
Personal honor:
Beijing Zhiyuan Young Scientists (2020)
2019 Forbes China 30 under 30 (Science List)
AI theory
Build theory foundation for AI with Category theory and Topos theory. Focus on theory inspired algorithm design, and characterization of the power of foundation models.
AI for math
Build foundation models that can prove theorems.
