Hong-Yu Chen | Northwestern University

Hi, I’m a first-year PhD student at Northwestern University in MAGICS lab advised by Prof. Han Liu. I focus on advancing the understanding and application of foundation models. My research explores their theoretical foundations, including their universal approximation capabilities, potential to perform complex algorithms, and their links to associative memory such as Hopfield Model. I also work on extending their applications beyond language and vision, particularly in time series analysis and other scientific domain such as astrophysics. I received my B.S. degree in Physics from National Taiwan University, advised by Prof. Hsi-Sheng Goan.
