About Me

Hey, this is Yang. 

My current research interest is Joint Communication and Sensing, with a focus on human and mobility (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles).

My major research experience is in antennas and radio propagation, as well as signal processing techniques for parameter estimation (double-directional angular, delay, doppler, etc.). 

Plz find more info about me, here www.ymiao.info 

 

I have a few MSc/BSc thesis projects as below, if you are interested and want to know more about the topics, plz do not hesitate to drop me an email.

 

1) Daily health monitoring using contact-free radio sensing techniques

    [measurement + algorithm]
