Yuyang Luo

Emory University, PhD student in Computer Science and Informatics.

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Informatics at Emory University, advised by Prof. Kai Shu. I hold an Sc.M. in Computer Science from Brown University and a B.Eng. in Computer Science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. My research interests lie in Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence, with a particular emphasis on adversarial machine learning across computer vision and natural language processing. In addition to research, I have contributed to broadening access to computer science education by teaching fundamental CS and AI concepts to high school students through the IgniteCS outreach program. Outside of academia, I pursue personal interests in basketball, strength training, and reading.

I always welcome opportunities to connect and chat about research, collaborations, or shared interests.
