About

Heyuan Shi is a researcher at the intersection of cybersecurity, cyber-physical systems, and robotic software engineering. Their work addresses critical challenges in securing modern autonomous and cognitive systems, with a particular focus on the Robot Operating System (ROS) and wireless communication technologies. Shi’s early research, notably the 2018 paper “Secure beamforming for cognitive cyber-physical systems based on cognitive radio with wireless energy harvesting” (11 citations), explores the integration of cognitive radio and energy harvesting to enhance security in resource-constrained cyber-physical environments. More recently, Shi has made a significant impact on robotic software safety through the 2024 work “Enhancing ROS System Fuzzing through Callback Tracing” (7 citations). This paper introduces a novel fuzzing approach that leverages callback tracing to more effectively uncover vulnerabilities in ROS 2, the de-facto standard for safety-critical robotic applications. By addressing the limitations of existing testing methods, Shi’s contribution helps deliver a more secure ROS codebase, directly benefiting the reliability of autonomous systems in domains like healthcare, manufacturing, and autonomous driving.
