I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students and research interns. If you are interested in working with me, feel free to send me your CV. Graduate admission information is available from the Ph.D. program and admissions page.
Dr. Hongfei Xue is an Assistant Professor of the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
He earned his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo, jointly supervised by Dr. Lu Su and Dr. Aidong Zhang. He received his B.S. from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC).
Dr. Xue works at the intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on intelligent wireless sensing systems. His research develops algorithms and systems that collect, integrate, and analyze large-scale IoT sensory data, turning it into actionable insight about the physical and social world.
A central theme is expanding human sensing capabilities through generative AI for human motion understanding and synthesis and wireless signal generation for realistic simulation, supporting more robust, scalable, and data-efficient sensing.
He also studies collaborative perception for autonomous driving—algorithms that let multiple vehicles share information and perceive their surroundings jointly for safer decisions.
Additional interests include materials science, especially crystal structure prediction, using AI to infer structures from composition and related properties.
