Congratulations to Prof. Tao for being an exemplary educator.
Professor Yufei Tao is Professor of the Department of Computer Science & Engineering. His research aims to develop “small-and-sweet” algorithms: (i) small: easy to implement for deployment in practice, and (ii) sweet: having non-trivial theoretical guarantees. He particularly enjoys working on problems that arise at the cross-intersection of databases, machine learning, and theoretical computer science.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award Scheme was launched in the year 1999 to give recognition to outstanding teachers. Every year, each Faculty can nominate at least one teacher for the award whose performance in teaching is considered excellent in the eyes of students and other teaching staff. The award serves not only as a recognition of the contributions of the awardees in the area of teaching, but also reflects the University’s commitment to providing quality education.
