Zhenlin An

Zhenlin An is an Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia's School of Computing, focusing on wireless systems and mobile computing. He previously held postdoctoral positions at the University of Pittsburgh and Princeton University, advised by Kyle Jamieson and Longfei Shangguan. His research bridges AI with wireless communication, sensing, and localization, particularly for AR/VR applications.

• Ph.D. from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
• Advised by Dr. Lei Yang and Prof. Jiannong Cao during Ph.D.

His work explores physics-informed AI for wireless communication, localization, and sensing, with recent emphasis on egocentric digital twins and NextG AI-native systems. He leverages neural ray tracing for radio/acoustic modeling and develops novel human-environment interaction frameworks.

Publications span top venues like ACM MobiCom, ACM SIGCOMM, and IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing. Key trends include AI-driven channel prediction, cross-medium communication, and high-precision wireless localization.

• ACM China SIGBED Doctoral Dissertation Award (2022)
• ACM MobiCom 2023 Best Paper Runner-Up
• IEEE SECON 2020/2023 Best Paper Awards
• ACM MobiCom 2018/2022 Best Demo Runner-Up

Zhenlin actively recruits self-motivated PhD students and research assistants for Fall 2025 and subsequent terms. His work has been supported by collaborations with institutions including the University of Pittsburgh and Princeton University.
