Xiang Yan(阎翔)
I am a researcher in Huawei Taylor Lab. I received my PhD degree from Department of Computer Science of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, advised by Prof Xiaotie Deng.
I majored in mathematics and applied mathematics from 2011 to 2015 in Zhiyuan College (Mount Everest plan) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University as undergraduate student and joined AIMS Lab of SJTU from 2014 fall.
From July 2016 to Feb. 2017, I visited Prof
Qi Qi as a research assistant in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Decision Analytics of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
From July 2017 to June 2019, I worked as a research intern at the AI Group of Ant Financial (Hang Zhou) under a school-company cooperation project, advised by Prof. Le Song and Prof. Yuan Qi.
From Sep. 2019 to Sep. 2020, I worked as a visiting scholar at Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, advised by Prof. Yiling Chen.
My research interest has been mainly in algorithmic game theory. In particular, in
following topics: game theory and mechanism design, Internet and computational
economics, crowd sourcing, reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems.
