About

About Me

I am Zhiyuan Yu, a Research Engineer in ZTE Communication working on integrated sensing and communication and 3GPP standardization. My given name, Zhiyuan (致远), comes from the phrase “淡泊以明志,宁静以致远”; my grandfather was named Mingzhi (明志), so my family named me Zhiyuan (致远). I was born and raised in Hefei, Anhui, studied at Hefei No.1 High School, and later moved to Nanjing, where I have studied and lived for seven years.

I received my B.S. degree in Information Science and Technology from Southeast University in 2023, and continued my M.S. study at Southeast University from 2023 to 2026 under the supervision of Prof. Hong Ren and Prof. Cunhua Pan. My work centers on integrated sensing and communication, receiver algorithms, RIS-aided systems, and optimization methods.

This website is not only a research homepage, but also a small personal archive for work, study, travel, graduation memories, and everyday observations.

Research

Selected Research

Active RIS / ISAC / Beamforming

Active RIS Aided ISAC Systems

This work studies how active RIS can mitigate multiplicative fading in the sensing link of ISAC systems, with beamforming design, radar SNR scaling analysis, and deployment insights.

ESI Hot Paper and IEEE TCOM Most Popular paper for years.

Uplink ISAC / Receiver Design / Homotopy Optimization

Uplink ISAC Receiver Designs

I develop low-complexity uplink receiver designs that jointly support communication signal detection and radar echo processing under mutual interference.

Includes IEEE WCL, ICC Best Paper Award work, and IEEE TWC journal extension.
