Yuxiao Wen (top)

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science in Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yanjun Han and Prof. Zhengyuan Zhou. My research is mainly on learning theory, with a particular focus on bandit problems.

In 2021-23, I have been working on Scientific Machine Learning with Prof. Benjamin Peherstorfer. Prior to that, I received my B.A.s in Math and in CS at New York University and graduated with latin honor and department award (cf. my CV).

More about myself: I enjoy playing poker and city-walking in spare time. I love anything with matcha. My favorite anime/manga are (alphabetical order) Ajin, Alice in Borderland, Fire Punch, Jojo 2-4, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., and tons of others.
