Kai Wu

Dr. Kai Wu is a Lecturer at the School of Electrical and Data Engineering (SEDE), University of Technology Sydney (UTS). He holds dual PhD degrees from UTS (2020) and Xidian University (2019), with his UTS thesis recognized in the Chancellor’s List 2020. His research focuses on Joint Communications and Radio Sensing (JCAS), digital/antenna array signal processing, and 5G+/IoT technologies. He has published the world-first authored book on JCAS and leads funded research projects in wireless sensing, millimeter-wave communications, and flood sensing systems.

Education:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, University of Technology Sydney (2020)
• PhD in Information and Communication Engineering, Xidian University (2019)

Research Interests: Dr. Wu’s work spans JCAS, antenna array signal processing, and embedded systems. He emphasizes practical applications of ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication) for next-generation wireless systems. His projects include flood sensing via communication signals and secure waveform design for RIS-assisted networks.

Funded Research:

• Network as a sensor for flood sensing (TPG Telecom Limited, 2023–2028)
• Smart Flood and Storm Intelligence Sensing Initiative (NSW Department of Planning, 2023–2024)

Awards:

• Chancellor’s List 2020 (UTS)

Teaching & Service: Teaches Introductory Embedded System and Internet of Things. Serves on the editorial board of ISAC-Focus. His work bridges theory and industry, with experimental validations in radar-communication systems and MIMO arrays.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Global Big Data Technologies Centre (GBDTC) at UTS, collaborating on interdisciplinary projects in signal processing and IoT.
