About

Dr. Yanjun Pan is pioneering the intersection of wireless communications and physiological sensing, with a focus on next-generation (NextG) millimeter-wave systems. Their most-cited work, "Physiological Motion Sensing via Channel State Information in NextG Millimeter-Wave Communications Systems" (2022, 8 citations), demonstrates a groundbreaking approach: leveraging the channel state information (CSI) inherent in wireless communications to detect subtle human physiological motions, such as respiration. By showing that small bodily movements modulate CSI, Dr. Pan enables contactless, passive health monitoring without dedicated sensors—a transformative capability for smart healthcare and ambient intelligence. This research bridges communications engineering and biomedical sensing, offering a low-cost, scalable solution for remote patient monitoring. Dr. Pan’s contributions are particularly notable for their potential to repurpose existing 5G and future 6G infrastructure for vital sign detection, reducing hardware overhead. With growing interest in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), their work is gaining traction among researchers exploring non-invasive health technologies. Dr. Pan’s innovative fusion of wireless systems and physiological sensing marks them as a rising voice in the next wave of ubiquitous, connectivity-driven healthcare solutions.
