Here is Yiting Lin(林一挺). I am currently a research assistant at Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU), advised by A.P. Donglong CHEN, within Guangdong Provincial/Zhuhai Key Laboratory of Interdisciplinary Research and Application for Data Science. I am also a PI (Teaching and Research Position/Research Assistant) in Prof. Wenbin Cheng’s postgraduate research team at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Zhongshan Institute. I have published over 30 papers since 2022, including 3 papers from the first quartile journals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I have authored 9 highly cited papers according to the Essential Science Indicators (ESI), and 3 hot paper according to the ESI. I have served as a peer reviewer for prestigious journals including IEEE TIFS, IEEE TDSC, IEEE TMM, IEEE TIP, IEEE TCSVT, IEEE TCYB, IEEE TSMC-S, IEEE TCAS-I, IEEE TCAS-II, IEEE TBD, IEEE TII, IEEE TCE, IEEE TIE, ACM TOMM, etc., as well as for publications by academic publishers such as Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, IOP Publishing, Taylor&Francis, MDPI, etc.
