Hello from the Director

The CWC has a history of groundbreaking research and impactful innovation. The collaborative spirit that brings together academia and industry to address the evolving challenges and opportunities in the wireless field is impressive. Research spans areas such as the principles of 5G/6G and beyond, to the development of applications in connected health, smart transportation, and the Internet of Things. 

Our goal is to build upon this foundation by fostering an environment that supports innovative research, encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, and cultivates the next generation of leaders in wireless communications. As the new director I am eager to engage with faculty, students, staff, and industry partners to explore new frontiers, tackle challenges, and translate discoveries into real-world impact.

I look forward to working with everyone as we strengthen the CWC's position as a global leader in wireless innovation. Together, we can be confident that the future of connectivity will be shaped by collective input, and its potential will be unlocked for the benefit of us all. 

Sincerely,
Xinyu Zhang
