All undergraduate students are welcome to attend a lecture titled Introduction to Dynamic Programming, by Dr. Yu Luo, a postdoctoral researcher from the University of Delaware’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
Biographical Sketch
Dr. Yu Luo is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Delaware (UD). He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at Columbia University and B.Eng. in Chemical Engineering at the National University of Singapore.
Dr. Luo’s doctoral training from Columbia with Prof. Venkat Venkatasubramanian and Prof. Garud Iyengar focused on understanding complex multi-agent systems and managing systemic risk through the lens of chemical engineering (PSE in particular) and artificial intelligence. His current research with Prof. Babatunde A. Ogunnaike and Prof. Kelvin H. Lee at UD employs various systems techniques to design and control the upstream biopharmaceutical process of manufacturing therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
Dr. Luo has systematically analyzed problems at a wide range of scales and applied PSE principles to a diverse set of systems – biological systems, systems of artificial agents, social systems, financial systems, etc. What motivates him in conducting research in PSE is the understanding of complex systems and the profound satisfaction of understanding.
