Chaoqi Yang is a PhD-trained machine learning researcher and quantitative researcher with nine years of industry experience, currently on a non-compete after roles at Citadel Securities where he built ML-driven statistical arbitrage models for FICC and equities. He combines deep learning for healthcare—contributing models and benchmarks to the PyHealth toolkit—with applied ML in finance, recommendations, and spatio-temporal medical data during internships at Amplitude, IQVIA, and Tencent. Based in Miami, he brings a strong academic foundation from UIUC and SJTU and a track record of shipping research-grade models into production contexts. Notably, his open-source work added clinically-focused models (RETAIN, MICRON, GAMENet) and DDI-aware loss functions to PyHealth, reflecting an uncommon blend of domain knowledge in healthcare and market-facing ML.
