Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), University of Southampton

Shaoshi Yang (SIEEE’09) received his B.Eng degree in Information Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), Beijing, China, in July 2006. He transferred to his Ph.D. studies in Signal and Information Processing in September 2008 at the same university. From November 2008 to February 2009, he was an intern research fellow in Communications Technology Lab (CTL), Intel Labs China, Beijing, where he focused on CQICH design for mobile WiMAX (802.16m). Since November 2009 he has been with the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK, where he is working towards his Ph.D. degree in Wireless Communications under the supervision of Prof. Lajos Hanzo. His research interests include MUD/MIMO detection, multi-cell joint/distributed processing and interference management, convex optimization and its applications.
