Zhongxiu Yang

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Millersville University. I earned my Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2024, M.S. in computer science at California State University, East Bay in 2018, and B.S. in computer science at California State University, Fullerton in 2016. My Ph.D. advisor was Dr. Matt Gibson-Lopez. My research areas include algorithms and computational geometry.

Research

My research area is mainly in computational geometry, specifically art gallery problem variants. I am also interested in quantum computing.
