As the Platform Tech Lead at YokyWorks, Ethan Liu is redesigning the learning experience for teachers and students using cutting-edge technologies like real-time streaming and Generative AI. His path to this work began with research at Boston University, where he studied neurodegeneration through the lens of computational modeling. Outside of formal research, Ethan pursues independent projects in machine learning, often exploring the connections between artificial intelligence and the human brain. With his technical background and curiosity-driven approach, he is committed to building tools that open the door to a more equitable society where every learner has the chance to thrive.
