About me

Hi, I am Changmin Yu (于昌民). I am currently a postdoc in computational neuroscience at Computational and Biological Lab in the engineering department at University of Cambridge, advised by Máté Lengyel. Previously, I did my PhD in computational neuroscience and machine learning at UCL, supervised by Neil Burgess and Maneesh Sahani. My research focus on normative modelling of hippocampal system with probabilistic inference. I am also interested in deep generative models and reinforcement learning. I have previously undertaken industrial placements in Optiver, Meta, Microsoft Research, and Huawei, and was a visiting PhD student in Sam Gershman’s lab. Prior to PhD, I studied mathematics at Imperial College and Cambridge.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, playing football and tennis.
