Yuxin Chen @ Caltech

I am a postdoctoral scholar in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech, hosted by Prof. Yisong Yue. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from ETH Zurich, under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Krause. I am a recipient of the PIMCO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computing and Mathematical Sciences, a Swiss National Science Foundation Early Postdoc.Mobility fellowship, and a Google European Doctoral Fellowship in Interactive Machine Learning.

My research interest lies broadly in probabilistic reasoning and machine learning. I am currently working on developing interactive machine learning systems that involve active learning, sequential decision making, interpretable models and machine teaching. You can find more information in my Google scholar profile.

Prospective students: I am looking for highly motivated students to join my group next Fall! Please apply to the PhD program in Computer Science at UChicago.
