RESEARCH AREA
In my research I focus on wireless communication technologies for mobile networks (5G and beyond), ranging from wireless system design, radio network resource management (both model-based and AI-based), to physical-layer technologies abstraction and radio propagation. My recent research activities aim to design and develop flexible, robust and intelligent wireless networking, in particular radio network architecture and management mechanisms, to fulfil dynamically varying needs (e.g. a combination of extremely high data rate, low latency and high reliability) of different applications which are highly related to public policies and extremely relevant in a post COVID-19, wartime, and the Green Deal context: healthcare, energy, smart mobility, etc. My research work contributes directly to the PMC cluster “Fast and Open Infrastructures” within the TNO ICT Unit.
RECENT RESULTS
In the past years, I have been focusing on how 5G may empower telecom sector as well as vertical sectors (smart industry, healthcare, smart mobility, etc.), and its social impact. I have initiated/am initiating new national and international research projects (proposals), e.g. H2020 EU-Taiwan Clear5G (as Technical Manager), H2020 5G-HEART, in close collaboration with National Taiwan University and other (inter)national academic partners, telecom industry and vertical stakeholders. I was co-chair of the mobile group of GreenTouch, management committee member of COST IC1004 and COST IRACON, and serves in the Expert Advisory Group of the European NetWorld2020 organization. More recently, I have jointly proposed successfully a new COST Action INTERACT , focusing on new emerging radio communication technologies, together with other 84 industrial and academic partners in the whole Europe and internationally.
