OverviewAI-generated summary

Yanjun Pan's research interests encompass cybersecurity, wireless sensing, wireless communications, and network optimization. Pan is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Their work has been supported by two federal grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), totaling $551,903. One grant, for $94,998, supports "Collaborative Research: CyberTraining: Pilot: A Zero Trust-Based Security Training Program in Open RAN Cyberinfrastructure." The second NSF grant, for $456,905, is for "SaTC: CORE: Small: Towards Untraceable Communications in a Ubiquitous Environment with RF Fingerprint Anonymization."

Pan leads a research group and has published on topics including adaptive constrained iLQR for self-driving vehicle planning, message integrity protection over wireless channels, and vulnerability detection in 5G RRC protocols. Additional publications explore online learning for reconfigurable antenna mode selection, cross-modality user authentication using respiratory patterns, proof-of-following for vehicle platoons, and physiological motion sensing via channel state information. Most recently, Pan has investigated deep reinforcement learning for scheduling photovoltaic systems with battery storage.
