Summary
Yifan Du is a research scientist with a PhD in Computer Science and 11 years’ experience building reliable distributed systems for edge-cloud and intelligent connected vehicle scenarios. At Bosch he translates research into industrial prototypes—designing virtualization, orchestration, monitoring and federated learning pipelines that enable safe, real-time vehicle-edge-cloud collaboration. His background spans academic work at Inria on collaborative crowdsensing and industry R&D at Huawei on federated learning and AI data models, giving him a rare blend of theoretical rigor and production-oriented engineering. Comfortable across middleware, networking and ML stacks, he focuses on predictable architectures for latency-sensitive systems and shifting mobility workloads from cloud-native to edge-native deployments. An understated strength is his cross-cultural research experience in Europe and China, which informs pragmatic, standards-aware solutions for global automotive and IoT ecosystems.
