Scientific outreach breakfast

Join us for a Scientific outreach breakfast!

The Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) and the Croucher Foundation are pleased to invite you to a scientific outreach breakfast dedicated to the intersections of mathematics, algorithms, and strategic decision-making.

On this occasion, we will welcome Yijun Wan, mathematician and quantitative researcher, who will give a talk entitled: “Can Randomness Be Your Ally? Maths, Algorithms, and Strategy” on the 3rd of February from 9am to 10:30am.

Yijun Wan is currently a quantitative researcher at Qube Research & Technologies (QRT) in Hong Kong. Prior to this, she spent nine years in France, first as a student at the École Normale Supérieure (ENS), then as a research engineer at the Huawei Paris Research Center, and later as a postdoctoral researcher at Université Paris-Dauphine. She holds a PhD in applied mathematics from ENS and Université Paris-Saclay. Her research spans probabilistic models, machine learning, and game theory.

This breakfast aims to offer an accessible and engaging perspective on contemporary mathematical research and its real-world applications, while fostering dialogue between researchers, professionals, and a broader audience interested in science and innovation.
