Ye Yuan received his B.Eng. degree (Valedictorian) from the Department of Automation, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 7.2008, M. Phil. and Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Jorge Goncalves from the Department of Engineering, Cambridge University in 10.2009 and 2.2012 respectively. Ye has been a visiting researcher in Caltech (2011, 2014, 2015), MIT (2013), Imperial College London (2011-2015), Lund University (2012), Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (2011, 2014, 2015) and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (2009).
He is the recipient of Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards, Microsoft Research PhD Scholarship, Cambridge Overseas Scholarship, Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Students Abroad, Henry Lester Scholarship and a Best Paper Finalist in IEEE ICIA.
News: 1. I will be joining Prof. Claire Tomlin's Group at Berkeley as a postdoctoral scholar.
2. Yorie (a Ph.D. student of Prof. John Doyle at Caltech) will be visiting me at Cambridge Control Group from 1/7 to 30/8, welcome!
3. The code for [J9], [J12] can be downloaded from https://github.com/panweihit, why don't you try this for your own data?
Current Research Interests: On the unification of System Identification, Control Theory, Optimisation and Machine Learning with applications to the understanding and (re-)design of natural and man-made systems.
