Deahan Yu is an assistant teaching professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.

Yu teaches courses in machine learning and data mining. Given the myriad applications of machine learning across diverse fields such as health care, finance, and business, he wants his students to understand not only the theoretical foundations of machine learning algorithms, but also the algorithms’ broader impact and ethical considerations.

Yu chose to teach at Khoury College because its vision aligns with his aspiration to empower students as leaders, and he sees the Northeastern environment as welcoming, supportive, and respectful. He is thrilled to mentor, advise, and lead students during their learning journeys.

Outside of teaching, he enjoys running, rock climbing, golf, coffee, and ice cream.
