Yunyi Li

Welcome! I am Yunyi Li, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information systems and Analtics(DISA) at the National University of Singapore(NUS). I received my Ph.D. in Information Systems-Computational Data Science at McCombs School of Business @ UT Austin, advised by Professors Maytal Saar-Tsechansky and Maria De-Arteaga. I hold a master’s degree in Informatics and a bachelor’s degree in Business Analysis & Information Systems from the University of Iowa.

My research focuses on advancing trustworthy AI with the goal of maximizing the positive societal impact of social-technical systems while mitigating their potential harms. Motivated by the risks of overlooking label bias, one strand of my work characterizes its harmful effects and develops strategies to mitigate them, fostering data integrity in an increasingly data-dependent world. More broadly, my work bridges the domains of data integrity, algorithmic fairness, human-AI interaction, and interpretable machine learning, with the overarching goal of enhancing the trustworthiness of socio-technical systems to better serve both organizations and society.

I am looking for motivated research assistants and research fellows interested in trustworthy AI, data integrity, algorithmic fairness, and human–AI collaboration to join my research group at the National University of Singapore. Preference will be given to applicants with strong publication records and experience in AI agent, machine learning, or theories of human behavior.
