Recently, we received good news from the IEEE Communications Society, the largest and most influential flagship academic society on communications technologies and information networks. Assistant Professor Yang Hao (Howard) from ZJUI received the IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award for his contributions to spatial-temporal modeling of wireless networks and federated edge learning systems. The selection process of this award comprehensively evaluates researchers’ creativity, research impact, and contributions to the IEEE ComSoc. Whereby Assistant Prof. Yang Hao (Howard) being awarded this honor is a well recognition to his academic influence in the field of communication networks.
This award is established by the IEEE Communications Society and is presented to outstanding young researchers under the age of 35 who have achieved outstanding results in the field of information and communication over the past three years. It is the highest honor for young researchers in the information and communication field in the Asia-Pacific region. It selects 4-6 outstanding young scholars from the Asia- Pacific region (including China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries and regions) every year.
As the most authoritative international academic society in the field of communications technology and information network engineering, the IEEE ComSoc is committed to promoting the development of communication technology and improving human life through cutting-edge academic research and innovative technological applications in communications and network technology.
