Yuhai Tu

Yuhai Tu has broad research interests, which include pattern formation and nonlinear dynamics in nonequilibrium systems, surface physics, bioinformatics, biological physics, and recently physics of machine learning. He has made seminal contributions in many areas including the Toner-Tu equation in flocking theory, the growth dynamics of the Si-aSiO2 interface, pattern discovery algorithm for RNA microarray analysis, quantitative models of bacterial chemosensory system and motility, and the energy-speed-accuracy tradeoff in sensory adaptation, biochemical oscillation and synchronization.
