Yang Li

I am an assistant professor at Iowa State University. Before that, I was a senior research scientist at Meta and a researcher at Microsoft. I received PhD and MS degrees from Carnegie Mellon University (advisor: Prof. José M. F. Moura, member of the National Academy of Engineering), an MSE degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and a BE degree from Tsinghua University. I am a recipient of the IBM Patent Application Award.

Update on November 2024: I am looking for new Ph.D. students to join my group.
