Yuanyuan Tao (Alec)

MSc Electronic Engineering candidate, Durham University.

My interests are in sensing and control for autonomous systems. I focus on what changes when the inputs are imperfect: timestamps drift, measurements become unreliable, or a learned controller encounters model uncertainty.

The research portfolio brings together UAV field footage, software experiments and analysis. The individual projects are below.

Sensing and mission handling

Project What to look at
UAV multisensor diagnostics A fault-injection case with nearly normal average sensor rates but 18.314 ms p95 camera–LiDAR timing mismatch. The analysis checks timing, sequence loss and trajectory error separately.
Flight-video quality audit Analysis of two released outdoor clips: 224 sampled frames, with two low-sharpness samples in Clip B. Includes the videos, frame metrics and timeline.
Mission interface A rule-based parser and structured checks for speed, clearance and fallback behavior. The contract makes the decision available for inspection before execution.
Thermal validation toolkit Synthetic multichannel data with offset, drift and status faults; separate channel and reference metrics help explain each failure.

Control and networked systems

Project What to look at
Runtime evidence assurance Synthetic telemetry replay connecting monitor persistence, stopping margins and fallback recommendations.
Safe neural control certificates A learned policy with an analytic robust projection for a scalar sampled-data model; classical baselines and counterexamples show where each guarantee comes from.
Decentralized learning stress test An eight-peer Adult benchmark examining the tradeoff between clean-data accuracy and resistance to poisoned updates.
Wireless deadline lab A C++ packet/slot simulator comparing four schedulers. Clock-aware EDF helps in bursty-channel cases but loses to FIFO in the configured clock-holdover case.

Each project links its results to the data, configuration and commands used to produce them. My current research question is how timing and model uncertainty should change a system's decision to proceed, constrain an action or request better evidence.
