Hi There! This is Yuemin.

I'm Yuemin Yu ("余越旻" in Chinese characters, just call me Yuemin, or Austin, or whatever you like), an undergraduate student at the Division of Computer Science, School of Computing and Data Science, The University of Hong Kong.

I am quite interested in some Computer Science research topics, including Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), Ubiquitous Computing, Wireless Sensing, Real-world Perception and AI for Science and Healthcare. During my undergraduate study, I have been working / have worked under the supervision of Prof. Chenshu Wu at HKU, and Prof. Pingzhao Hu at Western University, Canada. I have also spent wonderful time during the exchange semester at University of Toronto during 2024 Winter semester.

More details are available by clicking the links in the navigation bar, and please feel free to contact me 👋 (ah, click the icons below!) if you have any questions or want to discuss some interesting topics!

Research

My current research experience lies in AIoT and Ubiquitous Computing, with a focus on analyzing and modelling wireless signals. I am working / have worked on the following projects:

Statistical Acoustic Sensing

  • Implemented novel acoustic sensing algorithm, leveraged multipath effect in indoor/close cabin environments
  • Provided ubiquitous and non-invasive sensing on breathing and presence based on acoustic signals

IR-UWB Radar Sensing

  • Applied algorithms on IR-UWB signals to estimate breathing rate of the user

Room Acoustic Modelling

  • Implementing new generative framework to generate Room Impulse Response, visualzing the sound propagation in the room

A little about the past

I studied at Shanghai Lansheng Fudan Middle School, a top school in Shanghai, from 2014 to 2018.
Update on 11/2024: Congratulations to Lansheng's 30th Anniversary!
