Yanan Zhao – Go Big or Go Home!
Welcome to my personal website! Life is about solving problems, and heavy is the head who wears the crown.
About Me
I received the B.E. degree in communication engineering and the M.E. degree in information and communication engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), China, in 2018 and 2020, respectively. After graduation, I have been a remote research assistant supervised by Prof. Vishal Monga (collaborating with Prof. Yonina C Eldar (IEEE Fellow)) on interpretable deep learning with strong interests and foundation in mathematics. My current research interests include signal and image processing, interpretable machine learning and applications.
Currently, I am pusuring PhD degree at Nanyang Technology University, supervised by Prof. Tay, Wee Peng on the signal processing and machine learning. I feel very lucky that I have many opportunities to explore my interested areas.
