The long-term goal of Yiping’s research is to develop a hybrid scientific research discipline that combines domain knowledge (differential equation, stochastic process, control,…), machine learning and (randomized) experiments. To this end, Yiping and his group are working on an interdisciplinary research approach across probability and statistics, machine learning, numerical algorithms, control theory, signal processing/inverse problem, and operations research. Yiping is among the first to work at the interface of deep learning and differential equations. Yiping was a recipient of the Conference on Parsimony and Learning (CPAL) Rising Star Award in 2024, the Rising Star in Data Science from the University of Chicago in 2022, the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship and the SenseTime Scholarship in 2021 for undergraduates in AI in 2019. Yiping also served as Area Chair for top machine learning conference such as Neurips and AISTATS.
