Hi there

Hi, my name is Li Yiyang (Amber), a second-year PhD student in Applied Mathematics at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. My research is centred on developing advanced solutions for stochastic multi-objective optimisation problems, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical mathematics and practical applications in ML and other fields. I hold a BSc in Mathematics and an MSc in Statistics (Data Science) from Imperial College London.

Oh right—before I forget, my core identity in the following years: PhD student!!!!!!!

I once read a sentence in a book for PhD students that stuck with me:
"You will experience periods of self-doubt which you must come through with the clear aim of becoming a competent professional researcher.
But I couldn't think of a more fulfilling or pleasure way of spending my time.
It's almost instinctive."

And there are days when I seek words to keep going… The following is the one I copied twice:

"Ich werde noch manchen Irrweg gehen, noch manche Enttäuschung über mich erleben.
Aber alles wird Sinn bekommen.
Dort, wo die Gegensätze sich aufheben, ist die Nirwana.
Und leuchtend steht über allem der geliebte Stern."
---Hesse

“我还会走许多弯路，还会为许多‘已实现’感到失望。
但一切终将实现它们的意义。
那儿，矛盾对立寂灭之处，即是涅槃。
挚爱的渴望之星，依然向我灼灼燃烧。”
---黑塞

Now in the following, you’ll find a whimsical bit more about me:

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep...”
