Yue Gao

Yue Gao is a Professor of Wireless Communications at the Institute for Communication Systems, University of Surrey. He holds a PhD from Queen Mary University of London (2007) and previously served as a lecturer, senior lecturer, and reader at QMUL. His research focuses on smart antennas, signal processing, spectrum sharing, millimeter-wave systems, and IoT in mobile/satellite communications. He has authored over 180 papers, two patents, a book, and five book chapters. Current roles include EPSRC Fellow (2018–2023) and editorial roles for IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking, Vehicular Technology, and Internet of Things Journal. Notable awards include the EU Horizon Prize (2016). His work spans interdisciplinary projects like GBSense (GHz Bandwidth Sensing) and contributes to 6G research. Collaborations include leadership roles at IEEE conferences and global spectrum sensing challenges.

Research interests emphasize antenna design (e.g., 3D printed, Ka-band), sub-Nyquist sampling, and machine learning for spectrum reconstruction. Affiliated with Surrey’s antenna measurement facilities (NPL) for advanced testing (400 MHz to 110 GHz, THz spectroscopy). Active in mentoring PhD students in antennas/wireless communications and oversees projects like the GBSense Challenge, advancing sensor-driven spectrum management.
