Welcome! 🙋🙋🙋

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), under the supervision of Prof. Xianghao Yu.

I obtained my M.Eng. degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), under the supervision of Prof. Penghui Huang. My master’s research focuses on inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging, particularly on motion compensation and parameter estimation. Before that, I obtained my B.Eng. degree from the School of Information and Communication Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2022.

My research interests include near-field wireless sensing and communication, signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, I am currently passionate about the topic of AI for wireless communication, i.e., how to use AI models to break through some theoretical boundaries in the wireless communication systems and enable more rational and efficient model design. Besides, I am also a theoretical guy who is excited about the movable antenna region, which involves optimizing the positions of antennas within an array to enhance system performance metrics. I am always working diligently to identify meaningful and critical research problems. Critical and deep thinking is my pursue. 💭💭

I would be happy if you wanna any discussion or collaboration with me, feel free to contact me by jiannanwang34@gmail.com :)
