Yuping works on the NF1 Brain Chart Project, funded by a £2.2 million award from the US Department of Defence, with an international team across Europe, Australia, and the US. Yuping graduated with Distinction in MEng Computer Science & Technology (2022) and completed her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (2025) at UoM. During her PhD, Yuping studied brain controllability in MS and completed a visiting project with the MindGlide Team at UCL, building transfer learning models with PyTorch and MONAI DynUnet on 23,000 MS scans. Yuping also chaired the Doctoral Academy Graduate Society of the BMH Faculty and worked as an International Student Ambassador and GTA.
