Luca Yu

Hey! I am Luca Jiang-Tao Yu, a PhD candidate at CDS, The University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Chenshu Wu. Previously, I was a research assistant at IIIS, Tsinghua University and Shanghai Qi Zhi Institute in Shanghai and Beijing, China, advised by Prof. Hang Zhao. Before that, I was a research intern at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in Beijing, China, advised by Prof. Anfu Zhou.

I am open to collaboration and happy to discuss. If you're interested in my research, feel free to contact me.
