Research

Xingyu's research interests include machine learning, computer vision, computational medical imaging, AI for health, deep learning security, and color visual signal processing. A general theme is intelligent computational systems for (i) multi-dimensional data analytics and understanding, (ii) computer vision, and (iii) health informatics. Her research outcomes have been applied to biologists' state-of-the-art study on pathology image based breast cancer prognosis.

Xingyu's current research projects include:

• Computational medical imaging (computational pathology, trusted diagnostic systems, weak-supervision segmentation, etc)
• AI for health (EEG signal analysis, cranial implant design, assisted-robotic surgical data analysis, computational methods for COVID-19, etc)
• Learning-based visual data analysis (visual-based anomaly detection, open-set problems, etc.)
• Security in deep learning (adversarial attack/training, data poison detection, etc.)

ECE380 - Introduction to Communication Systems

I am looking for self-motivated students (undergraduate, M.Sc, or Ph.D) and postdocs to work with me. If interested, please contact me with your CV, transcripts, and a brief description of your research interest (a specific topic is a bonus!). Thesis and sample publications are highly welcomed.

News: We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow or a Research Associate in NLP and ML toward building a language model and text understanding for new materials discovery

ECE 380 - Introduction to Communication Systems

Basics of analog communication: amplitude, angle, and analog pulse modulation; modulators and demodulators; frequency multiplexing. Basics of digital communication: sampling, quantization, pulse code modulation, time division multiplexing, binary signal formats. Prerequisite: ECE 240 or E E 238. Credit may be obtained in only one of ECE 380 or E E 390.
