Nature × technology × health

I’m Yiwen.

I’m curious about the quiet signals all around us, and how AI can help us understand them.

I am an Assistant Professor in Industrial & Enterprise Systems Engineering at UIUC, with affiliations in ECE and CEE. I build sensing and AI systems that help everyday spaces understand and support the health of people and the world around us.

I lead the UbiHealth Lab, where you can find our latest research, publications, people, and opportunities.
