Biography

  • Dr Yang graduated with a DPhil degree in Signal Processing of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2013, jointly supervised by Professor Guang Meng and Zhike Peng. From 2007 to 2008, she studied at the Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems, the University of Cincinnati in America, supervised by Professor Jay Lee. After Dphil, Dr Yang worked as a postdoctoral fellow and a lecturer at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

  • Followed by a two-year K.C. Wong Fellow at the Computational Health Informatics Lab, the University of Oxford, Dr Yang was appointed as Senior Research Associate at the University of Oxford in 2018, meanwhile, she was also in charge of the Digital Health research group at Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research, supervised by Professor David Clifton.

  • In 2021, Dr Yang was appointed as Associate Professor in the School of Public Health, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. She has received early-career funding from the National Science Foundation of China, Postdoctoral Funding of China, and the K.C. Wang Fellowship, and selected as a candidate of Shanghai high-level overseas talents. Her research focuses on the development of multi-modal data analysis for healthcare.
