His research ethos is "right to the city," where he strives to establish spatial equity in urban development.
At Cornell, Yu received several recognitions, including a Student Project Award from the Upstate New York Chapter of the American Planning Association for his involvement in the Lakewood, Ohio Urban Design Workshop taught in 2018.
