Biography

Cheng-Xiang Wang received the BSc and MEng degrees in communication and information systems from Shandong University, Shandong, P. R. China, in 1997 and 2000, respectively, and the PhD degree in wireless communications from Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark, in 2004.

From 2000 to 2001, he was a Research Assistant with the Department of Communication Networks, Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, Hamburg, Germany. From 2001 to 2005, he was a Research Fellow of mobile communications with Agder University College, Grimstad, Norway. From January to April 2004, he was a Visiting Researcher at Baseband Algorithms & Standardization Lab of Siemens AG-Mobile Phones, Munich, Germany, conducting research and development of error models for EGPRS systems within the framework of the 3GPP GERAN System Concept R&D Project. Since 2005, he has been a Lecturer in Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering, School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. He is also a member of Edinburgh Research Partnership (ERP)-Joint Research Institute (JRI) in Signal and Image Processing collaborating with the Institute for Digital Communications, University of Edinburgh. His current research interests include mobile radio channel modeling, error models, smart antennas and MIMO systems, OFDM, UWB, space-time coding techniques, cross-layer design of wireless networks, mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, and 3GPP evolved UTRA and UTRAN. He has published more than 60 research papers in journals and conference proceedings.

He was the recipient of the “2001 Excellent Master Thesis Award of Shandong Province”. Also, he received the “1999 Excellent Paper Award” for two of his papers from the sixth National Youth Communication Conference of China, Beijing, P. R. China. He serves as a TPC member for IEEE VTC 2005-Fall, IWCMC 2006, IEEE Globecom 2006 Symposium on Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks, ICCCAS 2006, ICIC 2006, and WASA 2006. He is also a referee for many reputable international conferences and journals such as IEEE Transactions on Communications. He is a member of the IEEE and the IEE.
