My name is Mingyue Tang, I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
Working with Prof. Elahé Soltanaghai on wireless and IoT problems with machine learning approches. Check our group website here.
I was a M.Eng. (originally a Ph.D.) student at the University of Virginia (UVa) Link Lab .
I am passionate about exploring the potential of technology to improve our daily lives.
My research interests include Mobile Sensing, Mobile Computing, Signal Processing and Internet of Things, Data Mining, Pervasive Computing, and Healthcare Systems.
Through my work, I aim to create innovative wireless/mobile sensing solutions that can address real-world problems and make a positive impact on society.
I believe that technology has the power to revolutionize the way we live and work, and I am excited to share my research and ideas with you!
Previously, I cooperated with Prof. Laura Barnes (UVa), Prof. Ang Li (UMD), Prof. Mehdi Boukhechba (UVa, now at Janssen R&D), Prof. Carl Yang (Emory),
Prof. Pan Li (GaTech), Prof. José Luis Ambite (USC ISI), Prof. Tiffany Tang (WKU), and Prof. Pinata Winoto(WKU)
Mingyue's research interests are Wireless Sensing, Mobile Sensing, Intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) System, and all the above things + Healthcare.
