Personal profile
Rui Yang received his Ph.D. degree and B.Eng degree from National University of Singapore (NUS). His research centers on Intelligent Control and Optimization, with special interests in pattern recognition (PR), artificial neural networks (ANN), transfer learning (TL), deep learning (DL), brain-computer interface (BCI), human-machine interaction (HMI), cognitive computation (CC), and evolutionary computation (EC). He serves as Associate Editor for esteemed international SCI indexed journals, including IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement (IF=5.6), Neurocomputing (IF=5.5), and Cognitive Computation (IF=4.3).
Dr. Yang is the Founding Director of The Centre for Intelligent Control and Optimization (CICO), the XJTLU-AUO-Optronics (AUO) Collaborative Research Centre. The research center aims to carry out in-depth cooperation in scientific research and industrial collaboration. By integrating artificial intelligence methods such as data analysis, visual inspection, data mining, machine learning, decision support, and optimization, with industrial expert knowledge, the Centre strives to achieve the ultimate goals of intelligent control and system optimization.
Dr. Yang is recruiting PhD, MRes/MSc, and UG Students in the following directions:
1. Large Machine Learning Model and Intelligent Optimization of Complex Engineering System;
2. Foundation Model and Deep Transfer Learning in Brain-Computer Interface;
3. Human-Machine/Computer Interaction in Robot/Virtual Reality.
Students working with me usually can publish paper as the first author in top journals (such as IEEE TII, IEEE TITS, IEEE TNSRE, IEEE TAI, IEEE TIM, IEEE TVCG, IEEE TCDS, IEEE TETCI, Neurocomputing, CEP, CIBM) and top conferences (such as IEEE VR, ISMAR, UIST).
For students who are interested in doing projects related to the above directions, please feel free to send me an email: R.Yang@xjtlu.edu.cn
