Hi!

This is Ya-Ting Yang (Lucile).

I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from NYU (New York University).

I am passionate about leveraging game-theoretic approaches and mathematical models to explore key issues like trust, accountability, and cooperation between (human) users and algorithmic (AI) systems. My research aims to advance the development of algorithmic systems in intelligent transportation, cybersecurity, edge computing, and other engineering domains for better societal benefits.
