Yu-Ren Liu is a Machine Learning Ph.D. candidate at Nanjing University and a researcher-practitioner focused on causal reinforcement learning, bringing ten years of experience across academic research and industry roles. He has first-author publications at top conferences like NeurIPS and translates theory to practice as a Machine Learning Researcher at Meituan, where he develops methods to identify causal latent variables for order-delivery decision-making and is preparing A/B tests for production validation. Previously he interned as a Quantitative Researcher building a distributed, derivative-free factor search system in Julia for the Chinese A-share market, reflecting a strong cross-domain interest in ML and quantitative finance. Notably, he cleared CFA Level I and FRM Level I in an intense three-week period, underscoring fast learning and quantitative rigor. Based in Nanjing, he seeks a hedge-fund internship in China starting Jan 2024 and maintains an active research profile via his LAMDA group webpage.
