Biography of the Organizers:
Dr. Doohwan Lee: Distinguished Researcher, Wireless Systems Innovation Laboratory, NTT Network Innovation Laboratories. He received a B.S. (Hons.) and an M.S. in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, South Korea, in 2004 and 2006, and the Ph.D. in electrical engineering and information systems from the University of Tokyo in 2009. He has been with NTT Network Innovation Laboratories since 2009. From 2012 to 2014, he was an assistant professor at the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo. His research interests include wireless communication, software/cognitive radio, signal processing, and OAM multiplexing. He received many Best Paper Awards and Best Technical Exhibition Awards. He was a Vice-Chair (2020-21) of the IEEE Communication Society (ComSoc) Asia Pacific Board (APB) Meetings and Conference Committee (MCC) and he is a co-chair (2022-23) of the IEEE ComSoC APB Membership Development Committee (MDC). He was a co-chair of the 1st Workshop on High Capacity Point-to-Point Wireless Communications in IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 and 2nd Workshop on High Capacity Wireless Communications in IEEE GLOBECOM 2020. He was a co-chair of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Workshop on Orbital Angular Momentum Transmission respectively IEEE in ICC 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Prof. Alan E. Willner: He received the Ph.D. (1988) in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University, as well as a B.A. (1982) in Physics and an Honorary Degree (Honoris Causa, 2012) from Yeshiva University. Prof. Willner was a Postdoctoral Member of the Technical Staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories and a Member of Technical Staff at Bellcore. He is currently the Steven and Kathryn Sample Chaired Professor in Engineering in the Ming Hsieh Dept. of Electrical Engineering of the Viterbi School of Engineering at the Univ. of Southern California. He is a Member of the U.S. Army Science Board, was a Member of the Defense Sciences Research Council (a 16-member body that provided reports to the DARPA Director and Office Directors), has served on many scientific advisory boards for small companies, and has advised several venture capital firms. He was a co-chair of the 1st Workshop on High Capacity Point-to-Point Wireless Communications in IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 and 2nd Workshop on High Capacity Wireless Communications in IEEE GLOBECOM 2020. He was a co-chair of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Workshop on Orbital Angular Momentum Transmission respectively IEEE in ICC 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Prof. Chao Zhang: Prof. Chao ZHANG received the B.E. degree from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, China, in 2000; the M.E. and D.Eng. degrees from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 2002 and 2005, respectively, where he was selected in the Joint Doctoral Program of State Key Laboratories of China and Japan; and the Ph.D. degree from National Institute of Informatics, SOKENDAI, Tokyo, Japan, in 2006. Since 2005, he has been a faculty member of School of Aerospace Engineering in Tsinghua University. So far, his research topics concentrate on the long-distance EM wave transmission with Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM). He is the Fellow of IET, the senior member of IEEE and IEICE. He was a co-chair of the 1st Workshop on High Capacity Point-to-Point Wireless Communications in IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 and 2nd Workshop on High Capacity Wireless Communications in IEEE GLOBECOM 2020.
