Bio
Shiyu is currently a PhD candidate in Biostatistics at the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University. He is honored to be advised by Dr. Zhaohui (Steve) Qin and Dr. Liang Zhao, working on machine learning and its applications on complex structured data. In particular, he approaches his research in three aspects: (1) develop deep generative models for controllable data generation, (2) develop efficient and scalable deep graph models and (3) conduct statistical modeling on biomedical data. Shiyu was a Livingston Fellow at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University. He won the NeurIPS 2022 Scholar Award and has been serving as the independent reviewer and PC member for many top-tier conferences including NeurIPS, ICML, AISTATS, KDD and AAAI.
Prior to Emory, Shiyu earned his M.S. in Biostatistics from Yale University in 2019, B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences from Fudan University in 2017. Through intensive coursework and research projects at Yale and Emory University, he has gained solid foundation in both theory and applications of statistics and computer science.
