Travelling to Shanghai, China for UbiComp/ISWC 2026!
Ph.D. Student · NC State University
Yuliang Fu.
I’m a Computer Science Ph.D. student in the SSCS Lab at North Carolina State University, advised by Dr. Chenhan Xu.
My research interests span artificial intelligence, sensing, and computing for health. I’m interested in learning from data and building useful intelligent systems.
Previously, I earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and Physics, and Electrical Engineering and Automation at Tsinghua University. I also worked with Dr. Yuntao Wang at Pervasive HCI Group, Tsinghua University and Dr. Cheng Zhang at SciFi Lab, Cornell University.
