"Bruce" Yue Yu (θ™žθΆŠ)

I build intelligent systems that decode complex societal patterns and empower human creativity.

I'm a PhD student at HKUST supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu and Prof. Cameron Campbell, and previously earned my MPhil in Computer Science and Engineering and BSc in Quantitative Social Analysis and Computer Science in the same university, in 2025 and 2023 respectively.

When I'm not working, I enjoy human-nature interaction (i.e., hiking) in Hong Kong. I'm also passionate about Karate, a sport that teaches me to be patient and resilient.

πŸ“’ I'm always open to new opportunities and collaborations!
