Background
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 is now a Junior Research Fellow in Darwin College, University of Cambridge and a post-doctoral research associate in Department of Engineering University of Cambridge. Ye was a visiting researcher in Imperial College London (2011-2015), Caltech (2011, 2014, 2015), MIT (2013), Lund, UNM, LCSB and HKUST (2009).

Research Interests
System Identification and Machine Learning:
1. Inverse problems (PDE, ODE, Hybrid Systems): identifiability (experimental design) and new identification alogirhtm by unifying methods in SI and ML.
2. Application of 1 to build an automated physist;
3. Application of 1 to biology and power systems. Solution to integrate heterogenous datasets, tipping point detection;
4. Application of 1 to the improvement in fault-detection theory.
Systems and Synthetic Biology:
1. Network Reconstruction: how to obtain network structure from data;
2. Modelling in systems and synthetic biology;
3. Application of 1 to Plant Science and had successfully predict a new gene and its location in circadian clock.
Decentralised Algorithms:
1) Decentrliased minimal-time consensus algorithm
2) Application of the minimal-time consensus algorithm to
2.1) a fast Pagerank computation scheme
2.2) a fast community detection algorithm
2.3) Car-platoon problem
2.4) Distributed Kalman filter
