Summary
Yihang Jiang is a multidisciplinary PhD candidate in engineering at Duke University with eight years of experience applying deep learning, anomaly detection, time-series algorithms, and signal processing to real-world sensor data. He developed EventDTW, a novel alignment method that cut time-series alignment errors by 60% on the UCR benchmark, and enhanced real-time video-based heart rate estimation using convolutional attention networks. His work spans Health AI and wearable sensor fairness, including a data-driven evaluation of pulse oximetry across skin tones and a systematic review of time-series classification in biomedical settings. Equally comfortable teaching algorithms and mentoring students, he pairs rigorous research with practical pipeline engineering for clinical and IoT applications. An unusual combination of AR-driven attention models and hands-on statistical analysis highlights his ability to bridge cutting-edge ML methods with careful experimental validation.
