Yue Yang
PhD Student, Department of Computer Science
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Hey there! I'm a Computer Science PhD student at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), lucky to be co-advised by Prof. Daniel J. Szafir and Prof. Gedas Bertasius. Before coming to UNC, I earned my Master's degree in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology (GaTech), where I got to work with Prof. Matthew Gombolay and had the chance to collaborate with Prof. Greg Turk. I've been super fortunate to learn from and work with these amazing folks. Excited for what comes next on this journey!
I have a pet bird named Dora and enjoy birdwatching in my free time - you can see my sightings here.
I believe in Slow Science.
