Jeffrey H. Reed

Jeffrey H. Reed is the Willis G. Worcester Professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech. His work focuses on advanced wireless communication systems, including cognitive radio, software-defined radio, and 5G/6G network architectures. He leads research in signal processing, spectrum sharing, and wireless security, with a strong emphasis on practical implementations and standards compliance.

• Education: Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, University of California, 1987.

His research interests span:

• Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Access
• AI-Driven Network Management (e.g., O-RAN xApps)
• Secure Wireless Systems and Anomaly Detection
• Positioning & Geolocation Technologies
• Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) Integration

Recent publications highlight advancements in 5G/6G positioning systems, interference mitigation, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). His work bridges theoretical foundations with real-world validation, e.g., experimental testing of 3GPP-compliant 5G positioning systems.

Dr. Reed collaborates with industry and policymakers through initiatives like ASCENT (spectrum coexistence toolset) and the Open AI Cellular (OAIC) testbed. His contributions address challenges in spectrum policy, emergency communication networks, and military-civilian communication integration.
