Research summary
AI-generated

Yiyang Luo works on ultrafast fiber lasers and optical sensing, studying how complex pulse patterns called 'soliton molecules' and chaotic laser pulses can be shaped and controlled inside fiber laser systems. This work is applied to practical technologies like high-precision laser ranging (measuring distance) and fiber-optic strain sensing, and some recent work extends into machine learning topics like watermarking in language models and pedestrian behavior prediction. Prospective students would likely engage with experimental fiber laser physics alongside signal processing and, increasingly, some data-driven/AI methods.
