Profile
Dr. Yue Zhang, Senior Lecturer
Dr.Yue Zhang (MIEEE, MIET) is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Bedfordshire. He obtained his B.Eng and M.Eng degree in 2001 and 2004 respectively at Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications. In 2008 he received his PhD degree in Brunel University, UK, where he also worked as a Research Engineer for the EU IST FP6 project- PLUTO. He was responsible for the radio propagation modeling and measurement, transmitter/receiver diversity design and measurement for DVB-T/H systems and RF/Digital/DSP design for the on-channel repeater for DVB-T/H systems. Yue then worked as a Signal Processing Design Engineer in Anritsu. He was responsible for the RF/IF, digital and DSP design for various wireless communication systems. His research interests are signal processing, wireless communications systems, MIMO-OFDM systems, radio propagation model and multimedia and wireless networks.
