Yuchi Qiu’s Homepage

I am a postdoc in the Department of Mathematics, University of California, Irvine, working with Qing Nie. Previously, I was a postdoc at Michigan State University, supervised by Guo-Wei Wei. I received Ph.D. (2020) at University of California, Irvine.

Research Interests

My research lies on computational biology by combining computational mathematics and data science to bridge the gap between intricate biological phenomena and their mathematical representation. I am interested in building interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) models by developing and combining deep/machine learning, multiscale modeling, and topological data analysis (TDA) methods.
