Biography

Xianyue Wu received the B.Eng. degrees in automation and electronic electrical engineering (First Class) at Harbin Institute of Technology, China and the University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, U.K., respectively, in 2009 due to a joint program between two universities.

From 2009 to 2013, he was pursuing a PhD degree under supervision of Professor Peter S. Hall and Dr. Costas Constantinou at School of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering, the University of Birmingham, working on antenna design and channel characterization for wireless body area networks. From November 2012 to May 2013, he was a visiting scholar at Charles L. Brown Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and UVA Center for Wireless Health at the University of Virginia, USA. Since May 2014, he is a reaserch associate at Heriot Watt University working on the project "Key Technologies for 5G Wireless Communication Networks" under the supervision of Prof. Cheng-Xiang Wang.

He is the recipient of the Best Student Paper Prize at 2010 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference, Honorable Mention in the Second International URSI Student Prize Paper Competition at the XXX URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of International Union of Radio Science and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Studentship (2010-2013).
