Yuhong earned her B.S. in Applied Mathematics at Baruch College, CUNY, in 2019 before diving deeper into the field, earning her M.S. from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 2021. Her research has traversed diverse areas, including robust Garch process modeling methods (which she developed into an R package), applying computer vision to guide search-and-rescue drones, and exploring the intricacies of spiking neural networks. Currently, as a Ph.D. student in the group of Prof. Hasenauer, she delves into system biology and dynamical systems, aiming to illuminate the progression of neurodegenerative diseases and their impact on various biological processes. Beyond the realm of modeling, Yuhong enjoys the company of a road bike and the thrill of a good hike.
