Dr Yue Zhang

Associate Professor in School of Engineering University of Leicester obtained his B.E and M.E degree in 2001 and 2004 respectively at Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications China. In 2008 he received his PhD degree in Brunel University UK where he also worked as a Research Engineer for the EU FP6 project- PLUTO. From 2008 he was a Signal Processing Design Engineer in Microwave Measurement Division-Europe Anritsu Corp. He was responsible for the RF/IF digital and DSP design for the measurement instruments for various wireless systems. From 2010 he joined the University of Bedfordshire as Reader in Signal Processing. He also worked as a Royal Academy of Engineering UK Industrial Fellowship with Aeroflex Ltd. He currently leads EU Horizon 2020 5GPPP project IoRL as the Chief Architect and Deputy STPM and EU Horizon 2020 5GPPP project 6G BRAINS as the Consortium Scientific and Technical Project Manager(STPM). He is also one of the commitee members of 5G PPP pre-standardisation and 5G Architecture WG. Dr. Zhang currently serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting ITU Journal of Intelligent and Converged Networks and IEEE Access.
