Yang-hui He

Professor Yang-Hui He is a mathematical physicist working at the interface of geometry, number theory and quantum field theory/string theory. Recently, he helped introduce machine learning into the field of pure mathematics by using AI to help uncover new patterns and raise new conjectures (cf. interview by Science [Vol 365, July, 2019] and by New Scientist [Dec 9 Issue, 2019]). He has over 150 papers and 2 books, with more than 6500 citations, h-index 45 (Google Scholar). Professor He received...See more
