Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYaning Liu is an assistant professor in applied and computational mathematics at the University of Colorado Denver with nine years of experience building scalable, high-performance software for scientific modeling and uncertainty quantification. She specializes in surrogate and reduced-order models, global sensitivity analysis, and accelerating Monte Carlo methods, and brings hands-on parallel computing expertise in MPI/OpenMP, MPI4PY and PySpark across Python, C++, Matlab, R and Fortran. Her work at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and in academia focuses on making computationally intractable Earth system and inverse problems tractable, often via variance reduction, particle filters and MCMC. Beyond theory, she translates methods to real data problems—e.g., NLP analyses of Amazon reviews—and maintains a research-driven engineering practice that produces production-ready, scalable tools.
