Portrait of Yulong Liu

Yulong Liu

Ph.D. student in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University.

My work is about getting AI to learn physics instead of only fitting data. I think about this through implicit neural representations, operator learning, LLM-based reasoning, and physics-informed neural networks, with applications to computational mechanics, bio-inspired mechanics, and coupled Earth science problems.

The question behind most of my work is straightforward: how can we make learning-based models respect physics instead of only matching data? I am especially interested in settings where geometry, constitutive behavior, and coupled processes matter, and where physical structure can make AI more useful for real mechanics and Earth science problems.
