About
Biography
De Mi received the B.Eng. degree in information engineering from the Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China, in 2011, the M.Sc. degree in communications and signal processing from Imperial College London, U.K., in 2012, and the Ph.D. degree from the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC), Institute for Communications Systems (ICS), University of Surrey, U.K., in 2017. He is currently a Senior Research Fellow in future wireless communications and Academic Ph.D. Supervisor of Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Industrial Cooperative Awards in Science & Technology (CASE) programme at the University of Surrey. He has been the RAN work package leader of 5G-PPP project 5G-Xcast and Project Coordinator of industrial collaborative project SoftRAN in 5GIC/ICS. His current main research interests include air interface design, multiantenna signal processing, broadcast and multicast technologies, and millimetre-wave communications.
