Bibliometric figures come from OpenAlex (2026-10-16) and cover the author's entire public record, not just the papers listed here. Reproducibility signal comes from Evolve's own reviews.
Research profile
Output—
Output is not yet scored: this snapshot lacks a verified total-publication and per-venue output aggregate for the author record, so the axis cannot be computed. It would measure cumulative paper counts, annual productivity, and the distribution of authorship positions across the record.
Impact—
Impact is not yet scored: citation-side aggregates tied to this exact author record are unavailable in the current snapshot, so no estimate is offered. The axis would measure citation counts, field-normalized citation impact, and the visibility of the authored works.
Focus0/100
Scores 0/100 on topical concentration, consistent with the raw distribution: OpenAlex topics span indoor and outdoor localization (177 works), target tracking and data fusion (55), radar systems and signal processing (45), distributed multi-agent control (42), and optical wireless communication (40), while recent output splits evenly — one third each — across cryo-EM computer vision, ML for wireless sensing, and wireless sensing with machine learning. Breadth, not narrow specialization, defines this record.
Collaboration41/100
Collaboration scores 41/100. The recent window records only 7 distinct coauthors against 75 works over three years, a compact network for that volume. Recurring partners include Keke Hu, Santiago Mazuelas, Tingyin Zhao, Mingtao Huang, Yuxiao Li, and Bobai Zhao. All three Evolve-reviewed 2026 preprints place this author in the last position — corresponding author on FPicker — a seniority pattern typical of a group lead who delegates first-authorship.
Activity100/100
Activity scores a full 100/100. The counts-by-year series shows sustained acceleration: 18 works in 2017 rising through 21 (2018), 25 (2019), and 24 (2020) to peaks of 44 in 2021 and 45 in 2022, then 17 in 2023 and 31 in each of 2024 and 2025, with 13 works already logged in partial-year 2026. The 75 works over the trailing three years confirm a high-tempo, ongoing publishing program.
Reproducibility55/100
Reproducibility averages 55/100 across the 3 Evolve-reviewed papers, each rated medium readiness. The verdicts explain the middling band: FPicker shows strong low-SNR gains but relies on self-defined metrics and omits tracker baselines; IIns-VAE+ has thin statistical support; IIns-GAN reports mixed realism metrics with GAN baselines absent. Standardized code and benchmarks, not method novelty, are the binding constraint on independent replication.
Research summary
Yuan Shen is a researcher at the Beijing National Research Center for Information Science and Technology (BNRist), China, whose bibliometric record — resolved from OpenAlex data under ORCID 0000-0002-9396-1964 — spans more than two decades. The OpenAlex snapshot reports an h-index of 45 and an i10-index of 136, with annual output climbing from 18 works in 2017 to a peak of 45 in 2022 and sustaining 31 works in each of 2024 and 2025; 75 works fall within the last three years. Topic modeling anchors the record in indoor and outdoor localization (177 works), followed by target tracking and data fusion in sensor networks (55), radar systems and signal processing (45), distributed multi-agent control (42), and optical wireless communication (40). The recent field split is an even three-way division among machine learning for wireless sensing, wireless sensing with machine learning, and computer vision for cryo-EM. Three 2026 arXiv preprints reviewed by Evolve — FPicker for cryo-EM filament tracing, IIns-VAE+ for wireless environmental identification, and IIns-GAN for labeled wireless signal synthesis — all carry last-author credit (corresponding on FPicker), a pattern consistent with a senior, group-leading role. Evolve's verdicts credit genuine low-SNR tracing and data-augmentation gains while flagging self-defined metrics, missing baselines, and thin statistical support — constraints that shape the record's medium reproducibility readiness rather than its research substance.
Collaboration pattern
The collaboration footprint is compact: 7 distinct coauthors in the recent three-year window against 75 works, yielding a collaboration score of 41/100. Recurring names include Keke Hu, Santiago Mazuelas, Tingyin Zhao, Mingtao Huang, Yuxiao Li, and Bobai Zhao. The consistent last-author placement across all three Evolve-reviewed 2026 preprints, with corresponding authorship on FPicker, indicates a senior supervisory role in which junior colleagues carry the first-author duties.

About this profile
This profile is AI-structured by Evolve.Pub from public bibliographic data (OpenAlex) and Evolve's own paper reviews. It is not written or endorsed by the researcher unless the profile is claimed. Radar dimensions are computed from real bibliometrics with fixed formulas — raw figures are shown alongside; missing dimensions mean insufficient data, never zero. Errors? Claim the profile to correct or hide it.
- Bibliometric figures (h-index 45, i10-index 136, counts-by-year, topics) come from an OpenAlex-based snapshot; 'Yuan Shen' is a common name, so this profile is name-resolved from public bibliographic data under ORCID 0000-0002-9396-1964.
- Output and impact dimensions are left unscored because the underlying aggregates for this author record are unavailable in the current snapshot.
- The 2026 count (13 works) covers a partial year and understates full-year activity.
- Reproducibility rests on only 3 arXiv preprints reviewed by Evolve, all rated medium readiness; peer-reviewed venues for these works are not reflected in the data.
