AI for Science — Researcher

Yahui Huang

[Ph.D. Candidate] / [IUE, CAS]

Just a researcher navigating the complexities of environmental engineering, always striving to explore and reflect. Working at the nexus of AI and wastewater valorization, I'm continuously learning, driven by a desire to do research that sparks new ideas and inspires others.

Never be cruel, never be cowardly. Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind. 12th Doctor

1About

I am just an ordinary person doing ordinary research, often wandering and wondering. But I hope to always stay passionate, doing research that inspires further research, and continuously pondering the big questions in my field.

Research Interests

1. Environmental Modeling: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Neural Differential Equations (NDEs) for complex processes;

2. Intelligent Control: Model Predictive Control (MPC) for intelligent decision-making in system operation;

3. Trustworthy AI: Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and interpretability for environmental engineering;

4. Wastewater Valorization: Recovery of valuable resources from wastewater and complex liquid streams.
