Introduction of the Speaker:
Stephen Wu is an associate professor in the Department of Statistical Data Science at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Japan, the country's only national research institute specializing in machine learning. He earned dual bachelor's degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Mathematical Sciences from the University of Michigan in 2008 and completed his Ph.D. in Mechanics and Civil Engineering at Caltech in June 2014. From September 2014 to December 2015, he conducted postdoctoral research in the Computational Science and Engineering Laboratory at ETH Zurich. Stephen Wu has focused on solving interdisciplinary problems centered on Bayesian probabilistic modeling and deep learning. His research includes real-time earthquake warning systems, structural health monitoring, molecular dynamics models, biological neural systems, and polymer design. He has led and participated in several JSPS and NSF-funded projects and has published over 50 papers in top international journals, receiving multiple best paper awards. In 2023, he was honored with the Young Scientists' Award from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, recognizing him as one of the top hundred young researchers.
