About

This is Wei Xue, I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the MESA lab, at University at Albany, SUNY. Between 2019 and 2020, I focused on robotics under the guidance of Dr. Weifu Wang. Since 2021, my research is on wireless communication, wireless steganography, RFI cancellation using RIS, deep learning, key generation, etc., supervised by Prof. Dola Saha.

Before that, I received both MS and BS degrees from Xidian University in 2016 and 2019, respectively, and my main research interests are image processing and image segmentation.

Research

RIS circuit design

Advised by: Dr. Dola Saha and Dr. Aveek Dutta 2023 – present

circuit

• Propose 3D RFI cancellation system by control the phase and amplitude to cancel incident RFI on telescope

• Provide blueprints and circuit analysis for RIS array prototyping across multiple DoAs

Multistage 2D DoA Estimation in Low SNR

Advised by: Dr. Dola Saha and Dr. Aveek Dutta 2022 – present

DoA

• Propose a three stage algorithm that methodically exploits digital beamforming, creates virtual subarrays, inspects multiple options and introduces clustering to estimate the DoA in low SNRs

RFI cancellation using RIS

Advised by: Dr. Dola Saha and Dr. Aveek Dutta 2022 – present

ris

• Estimate incident RFI of the telescope and configure Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface(number, spacing, etc.)

• Find the solution of amplitude and phase of each element of RIS to reflect incident RFI of RIS in order to cancel RFI in the telescope

Key generation

Advised by: Dr. Dola Saha 2022 – present

key

• Propose a Key Generation model using neural networks from wireless Channels

• Extract the implicit features of channel in a compressed form to derive keys with high KGR and low KDR

Wireless steganography

Advised by: Dr. Dola Saha 2021 – present

stega

• Design a complex-valued neural network to hide the transmission of secret signals

• This method has nothing to do with any properties of the covert signal (such as waveform or modulation order)

• Use complex-valued neural networks, which is more powerful and has a faster learning speed than real-valued neural network

• Transmit signals over the air and apply the transfer learning method to retrain the model again to further optimize the system and get a lower bit error rate

Teaching human motion

Advised by: Dr. Weifu Wang 2019 – 2020

• Offer a systematic exploration of how to decompose complicated physical motions to make motion more interpretable and easier to learn

• Build a teaching environment in a virtual environment (VR + unity)

• Use real robot teaching frontend to demonstrate motion clips(sign language, breaststroke, butterfly, etc)
