Yi He

I am an assistant professor of Computer Science with the School of Computing, Data Science, and Physics at William & Mary. Prior to that, I have been with the Department of Computer Science at Old Dominion University since 2021. I received my Ph.D. from the Center for Advanced Computer Studies (CACS) at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2020 , advised by Dr. Xindong Wu, and my B.E. from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), China, in 2013. My research interests include data mining, streaming algorithms, graph learning, and AI for conservation study. I am a recipient of the IEEE TCII Volunteer Award 2022 and the NSF CRII Award 2023.
