Senior🎓
Top SchoolSizhe Yuen is a research-focused software engineer and PhD candidate at the University of Southampton with 10 years of hands-on experience applying evolutionary computation to real-world optimisation problems. Currently a Research Assistant at the Alan Turing Institute, he automates data pipelines and develops explainable AI and ML models informed by his research into epigenetic mechanisms for genetic algorithms. His PhD work produced a novel epigenetic blocking mechanism, a Python benchmarking suite, and large-scale HPC experiments that were applied to voyage optimisation to reduce fuel use and transit times. Prior experience spans production data engineering at Skyscanner, full-stack development, and extensive teaching and mentorship of undergraduates and masters students. He combines rigorous academic research with practical systems-building and has a track record of turning theoretical insights into deployable, measurable improvements.
