Huanrui Yang

Huanrui Yang is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona. His primary research aims to develop mathematical understandings of the efficiency and robustness of deep neural network models to make deep learning usable in real world tasks, with applications spanning from computer vision, generative model and natural language processing. He is also interested in deep learning privacy, interpretability, federated learning, and software-hardware co-design.

Prior to joining UA, Yang was a postdoctoral scholar in the EECS Department at UC Berkeley and Berkeley AI Research, under the supervision of Prof. Kurt Keutzer. He obtained his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from Duke University, under the supervision of Prof. Hai Li and Prof. Yiran Chen in the Duke CEI Lab in 2022. He earned his BE in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University in 2017.
