Yuying Li

Yuying Li is a Chinese-Canadian professor of computer science in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo in Canada.[1] Her research interests include mathematical optimization, scientific computing, data mining, and tail risk in computational finance.[2][3]

Education and career

After earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1982 from Sichuan University,[1][4] Li completed a PhD at the University of Waterloo,[1] in 1988. Her dissertation, An Efficient Algorithm for Nonlinear Minimax Problems, was supervised by Andrew Conn.[5]

She worked as a researcher at Cornell University[2] before returning to Waterloo as a faculty member.[1]

Recognition

Li was the 1993 winner of the Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis.[6]
