Yi-Chung (Andrew) Chen

I am a third-year PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University (started 2024), co-advised by Prof. Jing Gao and Prof. David Inouye. My research focuses on trustworthy machine learning and physical AI.

Prior to my PhD, I earned my M.S. in Communication Engineering from National Taiwan University (2021-2023), where I was advised by Prof. Ming-Syan Chen. I completed my B.S. in Electronic Engineering at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (2017-2021), where I was mentored by Prof. Hong-Han Shuai and Prof. Wen-Huang Cheng.

My primary research interest lies at the intersection of trustworthy machine learning and physical AI, with a focus on robustness, interpretability, and uncertainty. I am currently interested in uncertainty-aware planning with world models. Previously, I have explored generative classification, multi-agent behavior prediction, diffusion model quantization, and federated learning.
