About
Dr. Yao Zheng is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of wireless communications and biomedical sensing, whose work is redefining how we detect human physiological signals through everyday radio frequency infrastructure. His primary research areas span NextG millimeter-wave communications, channel state information (CSI) analysis, and non-invasive health monitoring. Dr. Zheng’s major contributions lie in demonstrating that the subtle physiological motions of respiration and other bodily functions can be captured through the CSI of wireless links, effectively turning communication networks into passive health sensors. His most-cited work, "Physiological Motion Sensing via Channel State Information in NextG Millimeter-Wave Communications Systems" (2022, 8 citations), establishes a foundational framework for this technique. In a timely application, his paper "Identification of COVID-19 Type Respiratory Disorders Using Channel State Analysis of Wireless Communications Links" (2021, 5 citations) proposes a non-invasive, scalable method for early detection of respiratory infections, addressing critical gaps in public health screening. By leveraging existing wireless infrastructure, Dr. Zheng’s research promises to transform smart environments into continuous, privacy-preserving health monitoring systems, making him a notable figure in the emerging field of RF-based sensing.
