Dr Yuan is now a Research Associate, working at Institute of Cyber Security for Society (iCSS), University of Kent. He received his BEng degree in Mobile Communication System in 2007 and MSc degree in Finance in 2009, both from University of Sheffield. He received his PhD degree in Electronic Engineering in 2013 from Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), University of Surrey. Since then, he has been working on a number of multidisciplinary projects at Department of Computer Science and CVSSP, University of Surrey. His main research interest include Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and its intersection with Cyber Security and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

One of the Best New Human-Computer Interaction Books To Read

My book entitled 'Cognitive Modeling for Automated Human Performance Evaluation at Scale' has made it to BookAuthority’s list of the best new Human-Computer Interaction books. This book is co-authored with Professor Shujun Li and Dr Patrice Rusconi.

The book provides readers with a systematic overview of state-of-the-art cognitive modelling theories, techniques and software tools, and their applications. It also introduces a new cognitive modelling software framework and a research prototype that can support large-scale modelling and simulation tasks more easily. The source code of the research prototype can be found at https://github.com/hyyuan/cogtool_plus and a more recent publication reporting more details can be read at https://doi.org/10.1145/3447534.
