Welcome to Felix's Homepage

Felix, Yang Lou Ph.D., SMIEEE, FHEA 柴原 (しばはら)

Associate Professor
H&J Youth Chair Professor
Department of Computer Science
National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University

[Profile] I am an Associate Professor (H&J Youth Chair Professor) in the Department of Computer Science, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, where I was previously an Assistant Professor from August 2023 to January 2025. I am the Principal Investigator of the Network Science and Graph Learning Lab and a Member of the Communication Service/Software Lab.

I received my B.E. degree in Electronic and Information Engineering from Xidian University, China, in 2008, and my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, in 2017. From 2017 to 2023, I held research and academic positions at City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong; Lingnan University, Hong Kong; and Osaka University, Osaka, Japan.

My current research interests include Network Science & Network Engineering, Graph Learning, and Optimization.

[Join Us!] I am temporarily pausing the recruitment of Ph.D. and M.Sc. students at NYCU, but new positions will be announced soon. Some M.Sc. and Ph.D. opportunities are available at Hiroshima University and Sichuan Normal University. Please contact me via felix.lou[at]ieee.org for more information.
