Prof Yi Huang received a BSc in Physics (Wuhan, China), an MSc (Eng) in Microwave Engineering (Nanjing, China), and a DPhil in Communications from the University of Oxford, UK in 1994. He has been conducting research in the areas of antennas, radio propagation, radar, wireless communications, energy harvesting, and applied electromagnetics since 1987. 

He worked as a Research Fellow at British Telecom Labs in 1994 and then joined the Department of Electrical Engineering & Electronics, at the University of Liverpool. He is at present an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans on Antennas and Propagation, a college member of EPSRC, a member of the New Technology Directions Committee and a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE AP-S, a Senior Fellow of Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), and a Fellow of IEEE (FIEEE).

Anil Shukla (FIET) is a QinetiQ Fellow and a Research and Innovation leader in radio systems, RF technologies, propagation and spectrum regulation. His expertise ranges from medium-wave systems to mm-waves systems and his current research interests include: “Operating Radio Systems in Difficult Environments“, “Physical Layer Security and Resilience,” and “Cognitive / Intelligent Radios.”  

At QinetiQ, he manages a wide range of research activities related to communications and networks for systems operating from underwater to space.

He is a sub-editor of the IET Microwaves Antennas and Propagation Journal and the Chair of the IET Antennas and Propagation Technical Network.

Christos Masouros (FIEEE, FIET) received the Diploma degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras, Greece, in 2004, and MSc by research and PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Manchester, UK in 2006 and 2009 respectively. In 2008 he was a research intern at Philips Research Labs, UK, working on the LTE standards. Between 2009-2010 he was a Research Associate in the University of Manchester and between 2010-2012 a Research Fellow in Queen's University Belfast. In 2012 he joined University College London as a Lecturer. He has held a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship between 2011-2016.

Since 2019 he is a Full Professor of Signal Processing and Wireless Communications in the Information and Communication Engineering research group, Dept. Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and affiliated with the Institute for Communications and Connected Systems, University College London. His research interests lie in the field of wireless communications and signal processing with particular focus on Green Communications, Large Scale Antenna Systems, Integrated Sensing and Communications, interference mitigation techniques for MIMO and multicarrier communications. Between 2018-22 he was the Project Coordinator of the €4.2m  EU H2020 ITN project PAINLESS, involving 12 EU partner universities and industries, towards energy-autonomous networks. Between 2024-28 he will be the Scientific Coordinator of the €2.7m EU H2020 DN project ISLANDS, involving 19 EU partner universities and industries, towards next generation vehicular networks. 

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of the Insitute of Electronic Engineers (IET), the Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance (AIIA) and the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA). He was the recipient of the 2024 IEEE SPS Best Paper Award, the 2024 IEEE SPS Donald G. Fink Overview Paper Award, the 2023 IEEE ComSoc Stephen O. Rice Prize, co-recipient of the 2021 IEEE SPS Young Author Best Paper Award and the recipient of the Best Paper Awards in the IEEE GlobeCom 2015 and IEEE WCNC 2019 conferences.  He is an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished lecturer 2024-2025,  and his work on ISAC has been featured in the World Economic Forum’s report on the top 10 emerging technologies. 

He has been recognised as an Exemplary Editor for the IEEE Communications Letters, and as an Exemplary Reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Communications. He is an Area Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, and Editor-at-Large for IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society. He has been an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, the IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing, Associate Editor for IEEE Communications Letters, and a Guest Editor for a number of IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing issues. 

He is a founding member and Vice-Chair of the IEEE Emerging Technology Initiative on Integrated Sensing and Communications (SAC), Chair of the IEEE SPS ISAC Technical Working Group, and Chair of the IEEE Green Communications & Computing Technical Committee, Special Interest Group on Green ISAC.  He is a member of the IEEE Standards Association Working Group on ISAC performance metrics, and a founding member of the ETSI ISG on ISAC. He is the TPC chair for the IEEE ICC 2024 Selected Areas in Communications (SAC) Track on ISAC, Chair of the IEEE PIMRC2024 Track 1 on PHY and Fundamentals, Chair of the "Integrated Imaging and Communications" stream in IEEE CISA 2024, and TPC Co-Chair of IEEE VTC 2025.
