Overview

Wang joined the Computer Science department of the University of Exeter, UK, in March 2024. Prior to this, he worked as a lecturer at the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics of the University of Plymouth, UK. He received his PhD degree in Computer Science in the University of Exeter in 2017, and M.Eng. and B.Eng degrees in Telecommunication Engineering from Xidian University, Xian, China, in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

His research work mainly lies in the areas of 5GB/6G Communications, Unmanned Aerial Networks, Future Internet Architecture, Digital Twin, and Applied Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence. He has published over 50 research papers in a series of top journals in computer science, such as IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, IEEE Transaction on Mobile Computing, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, etc, and prestigious conferences, such as IEEE InfoComm, ICC, WCNC, GlobleCom, etc. His research was funded by EU Horizon 2020, FP7, EPSRC and BT.

He was the recipient of two Best Paper Awards from IEEE SOSE and IEEE SmartCity international conferences and was invited to give keynote speeches in the international workshops of IWCNT-2018 and NGDN-2020. He served as the Technical Programme Chair (TPC) to co-organise the international conferences of CSE-2023, CIT-2021 and IUCC-2020, and the Program Committee members of multiple international conferences, including ScalCom-2021, BDCloud-2020, ScalCom-2020, etc. He was also appointed as the Knowledge Sharing  manager for EU FP7 QUICK and HORIZON-2020 INITIATE projects. He is a Fellow of HEA (Higher Education Academy), UK.

*** I’m seeking highly motivated PhD students (scholarship/self-funded) to join my research group ***
