Jing Yu
I am a PhD candidate in the department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences (CMS) at Caltech , advised by John Doyle and Adam Wierman.
I am broadly interested in the interplay between control and learning theory, with a focus on distributed algorithms for large-scale cyber-physical systems.
My work has been supported in part by the Amazon/Caltech AI4Science Fellowship. Prior to Caltech, I received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech. I previously interned at GE Research Center, Bosch Rexroth, and STERIS.

I have been selected as an Amazon/Caltech AI4Science Fellow of the 2022-2023 class! The AI4Science Fellows program is a result of a partnership between Caltech and Amazon around machine learning and artificial intelligence. The program recognizes graduate students and postdoctoral scholars that have had a remarkable impact in these areas, and in their application to fields beyond computer science
Talk at the ControlX meeting hosted by Prof. Mehran Mesbahi at University of Washington.
I presented a poster on our recent work on online control of unknown adversarial systems at the Data-driven Decision Process (D3P) program at the Simons Institute.
I'm co-organizing a workshop on System Level Synthesis (SLS) for the Conference on Decision and Control (CDC'22).
Our paper On Infinite-horizon System Level Synthesis was accepted to the Conference on Decision and Control (CDC'22).
Our paper on robust online voltage control was selected as the finalist for the Best Paper Award of e-Energy’22. Check out the presentation by Chris Yeh.

Outreach and Volunteering
- (2018-2020) Muir High School, Pasadena, CA: I tutored high school students in Math and Science as part of an outreach initiative of the Caltech Y Rise Program.
- (2017-2018) I helped run outreach programs for the CMS department at Caltech, including the Pasadena Science and Art Night, Tech Savvy Science Day for Girls at the Pasadena City College, and facilitate talks organized by Caltech Center for Diversity.
- (2013-2016) Atlanta, Georgia: I was a volunteer Peer-led Undergraduate Study (PLUS) Leader for Physics I,II and Calculus I, II, III, where I worked with faculties to develop innovative and interactive weekly review sessions to help students better understand challenging course materials.
- (2014-2016) Atlanta, Georgia: I was a volunteer instructor for the Georgia Tech Invention Studio, committing at least 3 hours per week teaching students how to use the fabrication machines for their engineering projects. I also host outreach workshops for local high schools to engage underrepresented groups in STEM.
