Dear Colleagues and Students,

The State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City would like to invite you to join our “IOTSC Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series” on 12/07/2024 (Friday). We are pleased to invite Prof. Huiling Zhu from University of Kent, United Kingdom, as the speaker.

Performance Optimisation and Challenges in RIS Based Communications
Speaker: Prof. Huiling Zhu
Date: 12/07/2024 (Friday)
Time: 11:15 – 12:45
Language: English
Venue: N21-5010

Abstract:
Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are an emerging technology that controls the transmission direction of radio signals without the need for digital signal processing or power amplifiers. This technology can be used to steer signals around obstacles, thereby improving the strength of the received signal and enhancing network capacity. This talk aims to present the impact of wireless channels on the phase design of RISs. Furthermore, the joint active beamforming and passive phase design will be explored in a two-tier network architecture. Finally, we will discuss important challenges, open problems, and future directions in this research field.

Speaker’s Bio:
Dr Huiling Zhu received the B.S degree from Xidian University, China, and the Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University, China. She is currently a Reader (Associate Professor) in the School of Engineering, University of Kent, United Kingdom. Her research interests are in the area of wireless communications. She was holding European Commission Marie Curie Fellowship from 2014 to 2016. She received the best paper award from IEEE Globecom 2011. She was Symposium CoChair for IEEE Globecom 2015 and IEEE ICC 2018, and Track Co-Chair of IEEE VTC2016-Spring and VTC2018-Spring. Currently, she serves as an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology.
