  • Biography

    Dr. Yi (IEEE Senior Member) received the B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China, in 2006 and 2012. From 2010 to 2012, he was a Visiting Student at the Melbourne Systems Laboratory, University of Melbourne, Australia. Since 2012, he has been with UESTC, where he is currently a Full Professor and Ph.D. supervisor in the School of Information and Communication Engineering.

    His research interests include weak target detection, target tracking, radar signal processing, multi-sensor information fusion, and resource management. He holds more than 40 national invention patents. In 2012, he was invited by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine to publish a feature article on developments in weak target detection.

    Dr. Yi has been recognized by several academic awards, including First Place in the Best Student Paper Competition at the 2012 IEEE Radar Conference, and Best Paper Awards at the ISIF International Conferences on Information Fusion in 2012 and 2018. In 2015, his team received the First Prize in a national radar signal processing innovation competition.

    He serves or has served on the editorial boards of Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering (FITEE), the Journal of Radars, and Sensors (MDPI). He is also an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems. He delivered a Plenary Talk at ICCAIS 2019 and held roles such as Organizing Co-Chair, General Co-Chair, and Publication Co-Chair for ICCAIS in 2018, 2019, and 2020. He has served as a Technical Program Committee Member and Session Chair for conferences including the IEEE Radar Conference and the FUSION Conference. He is also an external Ph.D. thesis examiner for the University of Western Australia and RMIT University.

    Dr. Yi maintains collaborations with institutions including the University of Western Australia, RMIT University, McMaster University, the University of Wollongong, the University of Florence, and Lehigh University in areas related to joint research and student exchange programs.
