    Yue M. Lu is the Gordon McKay Professor of Electrical Engineering
    and of Applied Mathematics at Harvard University.

    His honors include the ECE Illinois Young Alumni Achievement Award
    and selection as an IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished
    Lecturer.

    In 2024, he was elected a Fellow of the IEEE and named a Harvard
    College Professor in recognition of excellence in undergraduate
    teaching.

    His research develops the mathematical foundations of
    high-dimensional learning, inference, and information processing. By combining tools from probability, statistics, signal processing,
    information theory, and random matrix theory, he seeks to characterize fundamental limits and clarify how randomness, structure, and computation shape modern data-driven systems.
