Bio
Yuejie Chi is the Sense of Wonder Group Endowed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in AI Systems at Carnegie Mellon University., and a faculty affiliate with the Machine Learning department and CyLab at Carnegie Mellon University. She received her Ph.D. and M.A. from Princeton University, and B. Eng. (Hon.) from Tsinghua University, all in Electrical Engineering. She received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from the White House, the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government to outstanding early-career scientists and engineers who show exceptional promise for leadership in science and technology, and the inaugural IEEE Signal Processing Society Early Career Technical Achievement Award for contributions to high-dimensional structured signal processing, both in 2019. In addition, she is a recipient of IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award, and young investigator awards from several agencies including NSF, ONR and AFOSR. She was named a Goldsmith Lecturer by IEEE Information Theory Society in 2021 and a Distinguished Lecturer by IEEE Signal Processing Society in 2022.Research
Her research interests lie in the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of data science, machine learning, signal processing and inverse problems, with applications in sensing, imaging and societal systems, broadly defined. Motivated by the challenge of extracting useful information and making reliable decisions from large-scale and high-dimensional data, particularly in sample-starved or resource-starved environments, the problems her group studies are often interdisciplinary in nature, lying at the intersection of statistics, learning, optimization, and sensing.
