Me

My full name is YunQi Xue, but my family and friends call me QiQi, pronouncing chichi in English. I am from Shanghai, but I have been living in Amsterdam for more than 5 years. I started out with BSc in Economics and Finance. Currently, I am doing my research master in logic at Institute for Logic, Language and Computation(ILLC), University of Amsterdam.

Academic Interests

I am genuinely interested in human behavior and believe in mathematical approaches. At ILLC, with focus on fundamental principles of encoding, transmission and comprehension of information, the research spreads into fields like, logic, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence and philosophy. I am rather involved with computational, cognitive and philosophical sides of the research.

Currently one of the projects I am working on is about voting systems. The basic goal is find possible cognitive condition, which might correct the current complexity results, by looking into the empirical results of elections.

Outside of the Academic World

I take all possible opportunities to get in touch with real people from all professions. In the past, I worked as an assistant for different art projects and a professional translator for governmental events and conferences. Currently I run my own company aside my study as an independent consultant for company strategies, mainly involved in legal domain.

For leisure, I like reading, watching movies, but especially playing cards, in particular Tichu.

I am looking forward to seeing you all.
