Boyuan Gu 顾博元
M.Phil. student in Data Science and Information Technology
I study how AI systems sense, interpret, and reason about human physiology.
I am a master’s student at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University. I received my bachelor’s degree in Electronic Information Engineering through the joint education program between UESTC and the University of Glasgow, graduating with First-Class Honours.
My work connects contactless physiological sensing with reliable AI: using mmWave radar and iPPG to study cardiovascular monitoring, and evaluating whether language models understand the physical constraints of physiological sensing.

The Neural-Wave Quick Escape Manual 2036: A Field Guide to Adversarial Living in the Era of "Empathic" AIoT
A speculative field guide set in 2036, exploring privacy, autonomy, and the right to refuse care in a world of radar-based “empathic” sensing. The manual brings together physiological sensing research and design fiction to question what happens when care becomes compulsory.
Science fiction
I also write science fiction. My short fiction has been published, and I was invited to the 2023 World Science Fiction Convention.
