Yixuan Florence Wu
Hi, I’m Florence, a second-year PhD student at Northwestern University, advised by Prof. Naichen Shi. I received my M.Eng. in Computer Science and Engineering from Harvard University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Flavio du Pin Calmon. Prior to that, I obtained my B.S. in Mathematics and Data Science from University of Michigan.
I work at the interface of statistical learning theory, multimodal learning, and high dimensional inference, building methods with rigorous guarantees for problems that arise in modern learning. My analyses rely on optimal transport, random matrix theory, and high dimensional statistics.

Outside of research, I have been a violinist and active orchestra member for twenty years. In quieter hours, I turn to Asian cinema and Chinese history.
