Hi there! I am Yukai Yang, a 2nd year Master student in Statistics at UChicago.

I recently work on scientific machine learning, with a specific interest in AI4Bio. Previously, I have worked on Uncertainty Quantification for Large Language Models, fortunately advised by Tim Rudner and Marco Morucci. I also conducted research in AI Safety for Multi-agent System with Professor Guang Cheng’s lab at UCLA. Prior to UChicago, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree (magna cum laude) in Data Science and Mathematics from New York University.

I am applying for a PhD in AI/ML starting in 2026. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in my research!
