Liu Ziyin
I am a research scientist at MIT. My research lies at the mysterious-and-fantastic union and intersection of mathematics, physics, neuroscience and artificial intelligence. At MIT, I work with Isaac Chuang and Tomaso Poggio. My research focus is on the theoretical foundation of deep learning.
Prior to coming to MIT, I received my PhD in physics at the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Masahito Ueda. I received a Bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics at Carnegie Mellon University. I also serve as an Area Chair for NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR.
Personally, I am interested in art, literature, and philosophy. I also play Go. If you have questions or want to collaborate, or just want to say hi, feel free to send an email.
About my name: My first name is Ziyin and last name is Liu, though on publications I stick to the eastern convention of [last name] [first name]. So please feel free to call me Ziyin or Dr. Liu, but when adding my name to publications write “Liu Ziyin.”
