Yi-Feng Chen

Dr. Yi-Feng Chen is a Research Assistant Professor and Master's Supervisor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China. He joined SUSTech as a postdoctoral fellow in November 2020 and was promoted to Research Assistant Professor in February 2023. His academic journey includes interdisciplinary training across engineering, neuroscience, and biomedical applications.

Dr. Chen's educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Engineering from Wuhan University of Technology (2014-2017), supervised by Professor Quan Liu
• M.Sc. from Wuhan University of Technology (2011-2014), supervised by Professor Zhou Zude
• B.Sc. from Wuhan University of Technology (2007-2011)

He also participated in exchange programs at Yuan Ze University in Taiwan (2012) and the University of Auckland in New Zealand (2015).

Dr. Chen's research spans the intersection of biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, with particular focus on brain-computer interfaces and rehabilitation technologies. His work combines advanced signal processing techniques with clinical applications, especially in decoding neural signals for movement intention and monitoring brain states during anesthesia. His research has significant implications for neurorehabilitation, assistive technologies, and intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.

His recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated neural decoding techniques, with a focus on coordinated limb movements and practical rehabilitation applications. The work shows progression from basic EEG signal processing to complex bimanual movement decoding and robot-assisted rehabilitation systems, reflecting a translational research approach from basic science to clinical applications.

Dr. Chen has secured significant research funding as principal investigator and core contributor on multiple projects:

• National Natural Science Foundation of China Youth Science Fund Project (2024-2026)
• Guangdong Natural Science Foundation General Project (2024-2026)
• Ministry of Science and Technology National Key R&D Program Project (2023-2026)
• Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Commission Key Project (2022-2025)

As a Master's Supervisor, Dr. Chen mentors graduate students in biomedical engineering with focus on neural engineering and rehabilitation robotics. His laboratory collaborates closely with clinical partners to ensure research relevance to real-world medical challenges, particularly in neurorehabilitation and intraoperative monitoring.
