ZHANG Yu

Dr Yu Zhang is an associate professor in the Machine Learning Lab at the College of Computer Science and Technology of Jilin University. He is the director of the Mathematical Modeling course. He also teaches courses such as C#, .NET, Machine Learning, and Computing Methods.

He was a visiting scholar at Indiana University School of Medicine from July 2018 to Auguest 2019 and a visiting scholar at University of Georgia from July 2011 to July 2012. He received his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree in Mathematics from Jilin University.

In addition to algorithms, he also specializes in a variety of computer languages and software engineering techniques. As a bioinformatics researcher, he is accumulating reputation for developing computer programs.

He is now responsible for the research on Biclustering-based study of alternative drug resistance mechanisms on cancer drug screening and clinical transcriptomics data [Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) under Grant No. 61972175, 2020.01 - 2023.12, Funding: 590,000 CNY].
