Kunhe Yang

Hi! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the EECS department at UC Berkeley, where I am fortunate to be advised by Nika Haghtalab. During summer 2022, I was a visiting student at TTIC hosted by Avrim Blum. Previously, I graduated from Yao Class at Tsinghua University.

I am broadly interested in the intersection of economics and computer science. My research focuses on the theoretical foundations of designing and evaluating AI algorithms in environments shaped by human incentives and AI agency. My work spans human-centric policy learning, incentive-aware evaluation, and multi-agent collaboration and information transmission, drawing on tools from machine learning theory and computational economics.

I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market!
