Wanyu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computing at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Wanyu is serving as an Associate Editor for  IEEE Transactions On Neural Networks and Learning Systems (TNNLS) and Associate Editor for  IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence (TETCI).

Wanyu’s primary research interest is in 1) AI for science. We focus on developing machine learning (ML) techniques (GNNs, diffusion, etc.) to accelerate scientific simulations and design (applications in materials, structure safety); 2) creating caollaborative AI systems (federated learning/multi-agent systems) with various trustworthy objectives, such as interpretability, privacy and safety.
