Yufei Tao
Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong
I design simple, practical algorithms for large-scale data problems, with an emphasis on solutions that pair ease of implementation with rigorous theoretical guarantees.
Fellow of the ACM Fellow of the IEEE
Research
Small-and-sweet algorithms
My research explores algorithms that are small enough to deploy in practice and sweet enough to offer meaningful theoretical guarantees.
The broader goal is to make large-scale data processing both principled and usable.
People
Students
I supervise a small group of students at a time, allowing for close and individual guidance. My goal is to help students develop both rigorous theoretical foundations and the engineering skills to turn ideas into working solutions.
