Senior Data Scientist

Research

(Alumni)

Yun Cheng is a Ph.D. graduate from D-ITET in ETH Zurich, where he was mentored by Prof. Lothar Thiele. His research primarily focuses on IoT, individual and urban services, CPS, and the combination of data-driven and model-driven methods, particularly in their application to real-world challenges. During his Ph.D., he developed various machine intelligence techniques for environmental analysis and control. This work earned him three best paper awards and the Talent Kick Award from the ETH AI Center. Beyond academia, Yun co-founded a startup called Air-Scientific, dedicated to making low-cost sensing and analysis accessible to all.
