Fan Ye

Fan Ye is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Stony Brook University, serving as Graduate Program Director. His research focuses on mobile/embedded sensing systems, AI/ML for Computational Screening and Surveillance (CSS), data-centric wireless communication, edge computing, and IoT. He leads projects in health monitoring infrastructure (e.g., Proteus) and vehicular peer model training (e.g., Roadtrain), emphasizing scalability and manageability. His work bridges hardware-software integration for real-world applications like non-contact vital signs monitoring and aging-in-place sensor tech.

Research trends reflect a strong emphasis on practical systems: 2024 publications highlight RF-based health monitoring innovations, edge computing optimizations, and user-centric sensor development. Earlier work includes contributions to decentralized machine learning, self-calibrating indoor tracking, and UWB-depth sensor fusion. Collaborations span academia and industry, addressing challenges in privacy, energy efficiency, and real-time data processing.

Ye’s lab develops scalable solutions for pervasive edge environments, addressing issues like multicast rate control, optimal producer selection (OPSEL), and blockchain resource allocation. His teaching contributions include collaborative approaches to aging technology education. Current projects aim to engage older adults in shaping low-cost sensor systems and improving post-COVID health monitoring through unobtrusive home sensors.

Notable infrastructure includes the Proteus health monitoring platform and SCALING for plug-and-play indoor tracking. His systems emphasize robustness and adaptability, leveraging acoustic, radar, and vision modalities for multi-factor authentication and indoor mapping.
