Yukai Yang 杨昱剀

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

I recently work on Uncertainty Quantification for Large Language Models. My research interest lies in applying statistical tools to understand foundation models, with a focus on high-dimensional statistics and random matrix theory.

Prior to UChicago, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree (magna cum laude) in Data Science and Mathematics from New York University. During the time, I was fortunate to work with Tim Rudner and Marco Morucci on active learning at the Center for Data Science.

I am applying for a PhD in Stats/ML starting in 2025. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in my research!
