Wireless sensing & security

Bofan Li

Postdoctoral Scholar · Arizona State University

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at Arizona State University, supervised by Prof. Yanchao Zhang. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Florida State University, where I was advised by Prof. Xin Liu.

My research focuses on wireless sensing and security. By integrating signal processing and machine learning, I advance wireless sensing beyond single-user settings toward identity-aware multi-user systems through spatial signal modeling. My broader interests include wireless sensing, mobile security & privacy, AI/LLM-powered mobile systems, integrated sensing & communication.
