Yao Yao

Yao Yao is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics, National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Vice Dean of the NUS Graduate School. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from UCLA (2012), with postdoctoral work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under mentors Alexander Kiselev and Andrej Zlatoš. His research focuses on nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) in fluid mechanics and mathematical biology, complemented by recent work in AI applications for healthcare, including disease prediction and medical data analysis. Before joining NUS, he was an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech's School of Mathematics.

Yao Yao serves as an associate editor for several prestigious journals: Analysis and Applications, Kinetics and Related Models, Nonlinear Analysis, Nonlinearity, and SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis. His academic contributions span theoretical mathematics and applied AI, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research bridging PDE analysis and healthcare informatics.

His work in AI includes explainable deep learning models for Alzheimer’s disease prediction, graph-based patient trajectory modeling, and cybersecurity for medical survival models. He has also explored ontology-driven frameworks for personalized medicine and EHR data analysis. While no awards are explicitly listed, his editorial roles and prolific publication record highlight his influence in mathematical and computational sciences.

Yao Yao’s lab focuses on mathematical modeling of biological systems and AI-driven healthcare solutions. His research has applications in cardiology, oncology, and chronic pain management, leveraging both classical PDE theory and modern machine learning techniques.
