Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYihui Ren is a Senior Computational Scientist and AI researcher leading a group at Brookhaven National Laboratory, focused on generative AI surrogates for scientific simulations, AI hardware co-design, and deep-learning based lossy compression to bridge simulation–experiment gaps. With a PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics and a decade of experience in high-performance computing, he blends first-principles quantitative modeling with practical software engineering (C++, Python, CUDA, MPI). He publishes actively in scientific venues and applies domain mapping techniques to mitigate domain shift in experimental workflows. A competitive programmer with top-percentile ratings on LeetCode and HackerRank, he brings algorithmic rigor to research problems and production-grade implementations. He is comfortable across the stack—from parallelized simulation code to PyTorch models—and often explores unconventional intersections like agent-based modeling informed by deep generative models. Based in Brookhaven, NY, he combines curiosity about physics and computing with a track record of shipping scalable, reproducible scientific software.
