Biography

My name is Yihao Hu (胡逸豪), currently a PhD student at Duke CS. My current research focuses on developing models and algorithms that lead to a robust SQL semantic debugger (have you ever wondered what it means to “debug” an SQL query? We are setting up a standard!). I work with Prof. Jun Yang, Prof. Sudeepa Roy and Prof. Kristin Stephens-Martinez.

I completed M.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Duke Pratt. I received my B.S. in Computer Engineering & B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Boston University, where I worked on privacy-preserving extensions under the supervision of Prof. Ari Trachtenberg.

Enough for serious stuff. While this site is always under construction, please look around!
