Junfeng Guan

Hi, I’m Junfeng (Jayden) Guan

I am a Research Engineer II at Bosch Research, Sunnyvale, USA, since 2024. I am working on developing radar sensing systems for automotive use cases.
I completed my PhD at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2022, with a focus on wireless communication and radar sensing, and I was a postdoctoral researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland.

My research interests are in the area of wireless and radar sensing systems, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), and enabling AI to understand the physical world from multimodal sensor data.
