Hello! I am Yuxuan Hu (่ก้จ็), a Ph.D. student in Electronic and Information Engineering at Fudan University, advised by Prof. Feng Xu. I am currently a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, with the MARS Lab, working with Prof. Jianfei Yang.
My research centers on Embodied mmWave Sensing, at the intersection of millimeter-wave radar, robotics, and machine learning. I am broadly interested in how embodied agents can actively perceive and understand the physical world, making wireless sensing robust and practical beyond controlled environments.
