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), and cognitive computation (CC).

Dr. Yang 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). He is the Founding Director of The Centre for Intelligent Control and Optimization (the XJTLU-AUO Collaborative Research Centre). 

Dr. Yang is recruiting PhD, MRes/MSc, and UG Students in directions:

  • Artificial Intelligence in Brain-Computer Interface
  • Intelligent Optimization of Engineering System
  • Human-Machine 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) and top conferences (such as IEEE VR, UIST, ISMAR). 

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
