Yun Yang
 I joined the Statistics Department at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2018. I was an Assistant Professor in the Statistics Department at Florida State University from 2016 to 2018. Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the EECS department at University of California, Berkeley, working with Martin J. Wainwright and Michael I. Jordan. I obtained my Ph.D. in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University in 2014. My advisors were David B. Dunson and Surya T. Tokdar. I received my B.S. in Mathematics from Tsinghua University in 2011. My research interests lie broadly in machine learning, scalable Bayes inference and theoretical foundations of high dimensional problems. In particular, I like developing practically efficient methods with strong theoretical support. UIUC PhD students interested in machine learning, high-dimensional/nonparametric statistics, or large-scale statistical computation, please feel free to contact me. Email
