Prof ZHANG YUEPING

Professor of Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (PhD EE, 1995)

Yueping ZHANG is a Professor with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S), and a Fellow of IEEE.

Prof Zhang was a Member of the IEEE AP-S Award Committee (2015-2017), an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (2010-2016), and the Chair of the IEEE Singapore MTT/AP joint Chapter (2012). He was awarded a William Mong Visiting Fellowship (2005) and appointed as a Visiting Professor (2014) by the University of Hong Kong, China.

Prof Zhang has published numerous papers, including two invited and one regular papers in the Proceedings of the IEEE and one invited paper in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He received the 2012 IEEE AP-S Sergei A. Schelkunoff Prize Paper Award.

Prof Zhang has been invited to deliver plenary and keynote speeches at conferences. He received the Best Paper Award from the 2nd IEEE/IET International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing, July 18–20, 2000, Bournemouth, U.K., the Best Paper Prize from the 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology, March 21–23, 2007, Cambridge, U.K., and the Best Paper Award from the 10th IEEE Global Symposium on Millimetre-Waves, May 24–26, 2017, Hong Kong, China.

Prof Zhang holds 7 US patents. He has made pioneering and significant contributions to the development of Antenna-in-Package technology. He received the John Kraus Antenna Award from the IEEE AP-S in 2020. He was presented a Royal Copenhagen Plaque by the European Antennas and Propagation Association in 2020. The plaque illustrates Ørsted’s discovery of electromagnetism in 1820.

His current research interests include the development of antenna-on-chip technology for very large-scale antenna integration and characterization of chip-scale propagation channels at terahertz for wireless chip area network.
