Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yanjun Pan's research focuses on cybersecurity, wireless sensing, wireless communications, and network optimization. As an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas, Pan leads a research group investigating these areas. The group's work includes developing methods for detecting vulnerabilities in 5G protocols and stacks, exploring online learning for reconfigurable antenna mode selection, and creating proof-of-following mechanisms for vehicle platoons.

Further research interests encompass cross-modality user authentication and device pairing using respiratory patterns, as well as the application of deep reinforcement learning for scheduling photovoltaic systems with battery storage. Pan's work also extends to sensing physiological motion through channel state information in next-generation millimeter-wave communication systems and the low-latency detection of attacks on grid-connected photovoltaic systems using dynamic watermarking.

Pan has received federal funding for research, including a $456,905 grant from the NSF for a project titled "SaTC: CORE: Small: Towards Untraceable Communications in a Ubiquitous Environment with RF Fingerprint Anonymization." Pan has authored or co-authored 33 publications, with a total of 179 citations and an h-index of 8. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas include Jingxian Wu, Jeremiah R. Wimer, Andong Zhou, and Marie Louise Uwibambe.
