Research summary

Yan Sun's work applies image analysis and machine learning methods to a wide range of problems, including medical image analysis (such as whole-slide pathology images and cancer origin prediction), remote sensing (satellite and drone-based vegetation and water detection), and other applied prediction tasks like time series forecasting and defect detection. The research emphasizes building deep learning and statistical models that extract useful information from images and other structured data across several application domains rather than focusing on a single narrow topic.

Publication output has grown unevenly over the past decade, with notable increases in 2021 and 2024, suggesting an active but variable publication pace rather than a smooth steady trend.
