Dr. Yan focuses on the prevention and treatment of neonatal encephalopathy and the developmental mechanisms of infant brain development. His research aims to advance the diagnostic window for neonatal encephalopathy and brain dysplasia, leveraging interdisciplinary approaches that integrate engineering and medicine. He applies cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence to explore neuroimaging biomarkers related to neonatal brain development, particularly through neuroelectrophysiology and radiomics. Dr. Yan has participated in multiple national research programs, including the National Key R&D Program of China and the “Artificial Intelligence” and “Brain Science and Brain-like Intelligence” major projects under the Science and Technology Innovation 2030 initiative.
