About Me

I am Yuyu Luo (骆昱宇 in Chinese), currently a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University. I am a member of Database Group of Tsinghua and under the supervision of Prof. Guoliang Li. I also fortunately have Dr. Nan Tang from Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) as my external advisor. Before that, I received my B.Eng. from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2018.

My research aims to “Speeding up Data Analysis” by building systems (tools) to simplify data analysis pipeline, i.e., assisting users to leverage and make sense of their datasets more easily, efficiently, and effectively.
