Bio
Siyuan Yu is a M.Sc. student in the SODA Lab, at the University of Alberta Department of Computing Science and Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute. Previously, he received his B.Sc. Honors degree from the University of Alberta in 2023. He is grateful to be mentored by Prof. Xiaoqi Tan.
Broadly speaking, Siyuan's research interests lie at the intersection of decision-making under uncertainty, online learning, and game theory, with applications to resource allocation and mechanism design. He dedicates his efforts to developing online algorithms within multi-agent systems that are both theoretically robust and empirically effective.
In his downtime, Siyuan finds joy in the world of classical music. Amongst his favourites, Beethoven's Violin Concerto holds a special place in his heart.
