About

Yuanzhe Yang.
You can call me Ethan.

I’m a student at Columbia University studying computer science and mathematics, with a minor in statistics. I’m interested in reliable machine learning and in building software that makes useful ideas accessible.

My background

My experience spans C networking and course-server work, demand and energy forecasting, and remote-sensing analysis with nighttime lights and vegetation indices.

Across these settings, I keep returning to the same question: what does a result let us conclude, and what assumptions does that conclusion depend on?

How I approach the work

I want to connect mathematical clarity with systems whose assumptions and uncertainty remain visible. My writing is a place to work through that ambition: reading papers closely, examining measures, and keeping track of open questions.
