Jing Yu

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Washington. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Michigan. I obtained my Ph.D. in Control and Dynamical Systems from Caltech in 2024. I am broadly interested in the interplay between control theory and machine learning, with a focus on online decision making and distributed algorithms for large-scale sustainable energy systems. My work has been awarded the Amazon AI4Science Fellowship, a Best Paper Finalist Award at ACM e-Energy, the ACM SIGEnergy Doctoral Dissertation Award Honorable Mention, and the Amori Doctoral Prize in Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Caltech.
