Assistant Professor

Bio

Ning Yang is an assistant professor at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA). Her research areas include reinforcement learning and the application of reinforcement learning in combinatorial optimization. She received her Ph.D. from at University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2020, supervised by Prof. Haijun Zhang. Before joining CASIA, she was a visiting student working with Prof. Randall berry from 2019 to 2020 at Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northwestern University.
