Yu Bai has been a Research Associate Professor at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences since 2023. His research interests include artificial intelligence (AI), embedded hardware, neuromorphic computing, nano-scale computing system with novel silicon and post-silicon devices, and low-power digital and mixed-signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit design.
Bai is also an Associate Professor of Computer Engineering at California State University Fullerton. He earned his PhD degree from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Central Florida in 2016. Prior to his academic career, he was at Siemens Energy Inc., working on data analysis.
His research on artificial intelligence, in areas of application ranging from unmanned robots to improving academic performance in STEM, has been supported by grants from the Army Research Office, the National Science Foundation, and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
