Optimization for ML and AI Seminar with Yang Zheng (UC San Diego)

Title and abstract TBA…

Yang Zheng is an Assistant Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC San Diego, and is affiliated with the department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Contextual Robotics Institute. From March 2019 to August 2020, Dr. Zheng was a postdoctoral scholar in SEAS and CGBC at Harvard University, working with Prof. Na Li and Prof. Ali Malkawi. In 2021 he was a research associate in the Verification of Autonomous Systems group at Imperial College London. Dr. Zheng obtained his Ph.D. in Control from the University of Oxford for his work on Chordal Sparsity in Control and Optimization of Large-scale Systems under the supervision of Prof. Antonis Papachristodoulou. His research interests include convex and non-convex optimization for control, principled data-driven and learning-based control, structures and algorithms for scalable conic optimization, applications in mixed traffic control, and certifiable robustness of machine learning (e.g., deep neural networks).
