Yusu Wang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yusu Wang is a Chinese computer scientist and mathematician who works as a professor at the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute at the University of California, San Diego [1]. Her research concerns computational geometry and computational topology, including results on discrete Laplace operators, curve simplification, and Fréchet distance.

Education and career

[edit]

Wang graduated from Tsinghua University in 1998. She completed her Ph.D. in computer science at Duke University in 2004.[2] Her dissertation, Geometric and Topological Methods in Protein Structure Analysis, was jointly supervised by Pankaj K. Agarwal and Herbert Edelsbrunner.[3]

After postdoctoral research with Leonidas J. Guibas at Stanford University,[2][4] Wang joined the faculty of the Ohio State University in 2005, and she was promoted to the rank of full professor there in 2017.[2] She moved to her current position at the University of California, San Diego in 2020. [1]

Service

[edit]

Wang is on the editorial boards of the SIAM Journal on Computing and Journal of Computational Geometry.[2] With Gill Barequet, Wang was program co-chair of the 2019 Symposium on Computational Geometry.[5]
