YangLiuWillow/README.md

Hi there, I'm Liu Yang (Willow) 👋

🎓 B.S./M.S. in Computer Science & B.A. in Intellectual History @ Yale University ('26)

Exploring the intersection of theoretical foundations and practical systems to build scalable, efficient, and reliable technologies.

Website • Email


🔬 Research & Interests

My work focuses on the intersection of Systems and Machine Learning, specifically:

  • Parallel Algorithm Design: Researching with Prof. Quanquan Liu.
  • Quantum Error Correction: Decoding research with Prof. Lin Zhong & Dr. Yue Wu (Presented at IEEE QCE 2024).
  • LLM Performance Engineering: Focusing on scalability, efficiency, and reliability.

🏆 Honors: CRA Outstanding Undergraduate Researcher Honorable Mention (2025) | Rosenfeld Science Scholars Fellow (2025)

🔭 What I'm Up To

  • 💻 Building: Compiling open-source course notes for Combinatorial Optimization, Quantum Coding Theory, Scalable and Private Graph Algorithms, and more.
  • 📜 Writing: My History Senior Essay explores the definition, presence, and concerns over artificial intelligence in science fiction to inform AI policy.
  • 📚 Reading: History and Philosophy of Science. Currently balancing Boyle's empiricism and Hobbes' rationalism (Leviathan and the Air-Pump is highly recommended!).

⚡ Quick Facts

  • 🌍 Grew up in Hubei, China ➡️ Studied at Raffles Institution, Singapore ➡️ New Haven, CT.
  • 👯 Open to collaborate on: Open-source systems projects, quantum computing infrastructure, and AI policy discussions.
  • 📫 How to reach me: Shoot me an email at liu.yang.ly337@yale.edu or visit my personal website to chat about CS, physics, or the works of Rousseau and Hobbes!
