Biography
Jialin Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at the University of Central Florida (UCF) and a member of the AI Initiative at UCF. He earned his B.S. degree in Automation from Tsinghua University in 2015 and his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2020. His research interests are at the intersection of AI, data science and mathematics, including developing AI/data-driven methods to solve mathematical problems, as well as mathematical foundations of AI.
Research
My research focuses on the intersection of mathematics and artificial intelligence (AI), with a particular emphasis on applying AI to computational mathematical problems such as optimization, differential equations, and numerical linear algebra. While AI and data science have shown significant potential in these areas, a systematic and fundamental understanding of such approaches is still lacking. There is an urgent need to develop stable, safe, and explainable data-driven methods for mathematical applications. The long-term goal of my research is to establish systematic and reliable methodologies, along with the necessary theoretical foundations, for integrating AI into mathematics and science.
