Biography
-
Prof. Zhang received the B.E. and M.E. degrees from Taiyuan Polytechnic Institute and Shanxi Mining Institute of Taiyuan University of Technology, Shanxi, China, in 1982 and 1987, respectively and the Ph.D. degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, in 1995, all in electronic engineering.
From 1982 to 1984, he worked at Shanxi Electronic Industry Bureau, from 1990 to 1992, the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, U. K., and from 1996 to 1997, City University of Hong Kong. From 1987 to 1990, he taught at Shanxi Mining Institute and from 1997 to 1998, the University of Hong Kong. He was promoted to a Full Professor at Taiyuan University of Technology in 1996. He is now an Associate Professor with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He leads the Micro Radio Group at the Integrated Systems Research Lab to develop radio technologies for wireless communications. He serves on the Editorial Board of the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering and a Guest Editor of the Journal for the special issue RF and Microwave Subsystem Modules for Wireless Communications . He also serves on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques.
Prof. Zhang received the Sino-British Technical Collaboration Award in 1990 for his contribution to the advancement of subsurface radio science and technology. He also received the Best Paper Award from the Second International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing, 18-20th July 2000, Bournemouth, United Kingdom. He delivered the Keynote Speech at Antenna Systems and Short-Range Wireless Conference held on September 22-23 in Santa Clara, CA, USA. He is listed in Marquis Who’s Who, Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, and Cambridge IBC 2000 Outstanding Scientists of the 21st Century.
