Yiwen Dong
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioYiwen Dong is a postdoc fellow at the Stanford Institute of Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). Her research interest is human behavior characterization and health monitoring through their interactions with the physical environment. Her current work focuses on human and animal health monitoring through gait-induced floor vibrations.
While buildings are traditionally considered as passive and indifferent, her works allow the buildings to be both self-aware and user-aware. Yiwen developed systems that utilize ambient structural vibrations to infer human behaviors and health status, which enables many smart building applications such as in-home patient monitoring and elder care, intruder prevention and occupant management, animal health monitoring, and welfare. She strives for the next-generation intelligent infrastructures by exploring the potential of structural monitoring for human-centered purposes.
Yiwen has an interdisciplinary background in civil engineering, electrical engineering, and AI. Yiwen received her Master’s degree in Structural Engineering at Stanford University and her Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering at Nanyang Technological University. She won various awards (Best Paper Award, runner-ups in competitions) in ubiquitous computing and cyber-physical system conferences. She is passionate about combining the physical knowledge from the living environments, sensing approaches from cyber-physical systems, and data-driven models from machine learning to infer people’s behavior patterns and health status. -
Vijay Prakash Dwivedi
Postdoctoral Scholar, Computer Science
BioVijay Prakash Dwivedi is a Postdoctoral Scholar in Computer Science working on graph representation learning. He holds a PhD from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His work has made contributions to advancing benchmarks for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), graph positional and structural encodings, and Graph Transformers as universal deep neural networks for graph-based learning. He has also contributed to the integration of parametric knowledge in large language models (LLMs) for diverse applications, particularly in healthcare. Several of the methods he developed during his PhD are now widely adopted in state-of-the-art Graph Transformers and other leading graph learning models. For his research, he received one of the Outstanding PhD Thesis Awards from the NTU College of Computing and Data Science. Vijay has over 7 years experience in both academia and industry with institutions including NTU, Snap Inc., Sony, and ASUS.
