Yang Liu

I’m a postdoc at Hong Kong Baptist University, supervised by Dr. Lu Zhang and Dr. Bo Han. Before I joined HKBU, I got my PhD from Queen Mary, University of London, supervised by Dr. Anthony C. Constantinou. My research interests mainly cover causal discovery, noisy data and explainable AI. I obtained my master and bachelor degree from the University of Edinburgh and Beihang University respectively. Below are some of the papers I published during my PhD.
