Yang Hu (胡扬)
G1 CS PhD student
SEAS, Harvard University

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at Harvard University, affiliated to the John. A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). I am fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Na Li and Prof. Sham Kakade. I am also a member of the Harvard Machine Learning Foundations Group.

I am broadly interested in the theoretical foundations of intelligent systems and decision making, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a better understanding of collective intelligence in complex systems. More specifically, I am devoted to designing efficient algorithms that enables learning-based strategic moves in large-scale multi-agent systems equipped with various dynamics structures, and developing theory that reveals the fundamental limit of online decision-making algorithms. My current research focuses on multi-agent systems, which lies in the intersection of game theory, online control, reinforcement learning and machine learning, and is thus interdisciplinary by nature.
