Dr Gengyu Xue

I am a Research Fellow affiliated with the EPSRC grant DASS, under the supervision of Professor Yi Yu. Before this, I completed my PhD study at the University of Warwick in 2025, under the joint supervision of Professor Yi Yu and Dr Haotian Xu. I received my Master's degree from the University of Oxford and my Bachelor's degree from the University of Warwick. I am interested in the broad areas of differential privacy and fairness.
