From April 16th to 18th, the 2024 Global 6G Conference was held in Nanjing. Themed with "Innovation Forecasting the 6G Future", this conference focused on the consensus of 6G vision, and brought together global 6G leaders and technology pioneers to jointly explore the future blueprint of 6G technology and business. It announced the list of young scholars selected for the 2024 Global 6G Conference "6G Rising Stars", with a total of 20 young scholars nominated. Among them, Assist Prof. Yang Hao (Howard) of ZJUI, was awarded the title of " 6G Rising Star" Young Scholar at the 2024 Global 6G Conference.
▲ Assist Prof. Yang Hao’s Certificate of Honor
In order to further explore and cultivate young people with innovative thinking and research potential, and provide surging impetus for the global development of 6G, the 2024 Global 6G Conference issued a "6G Rising Star" young scholar recruitment notice to the academic and industrial circles of 6G technology in the early stage, covering multiple research directions such as wireless synesthesia integration, high-frequency transmission and devices, network architecture and key technologies, communication and AI integration, air space integration, new technologies and materials, future business and applications. Through the recommendation of the organizing committee of the conference, 20 scholars were finally selected. The award-winning of Assist Prof. Yang Hao (Howard) reflects, to some extent, his increasing academic influence in the field of wireless communication networks, as well as his research achievements in this field receiving high recognition from the academic community.
The "Global 6G Conference", as a conference with extensive coverage and comprehensive content in the 6G field, has been held for three consecutive sessions so far. The first three conferences have built a bridge for global scientific and technological cooperation and collaborative innovation. Authoritative experts at home and abroad, together with core members of relevant national 6G directions, conducted deep exchanges on topics such as 6G vision and key technologies, security and trustworthiness, green and sustainable development, AI, and communication, comprehensively showcasing the innovative ideas and latest achievements of 6G technology research and development.
The 2024 Global 6G Conference will continue the high-end, professional, authoritative, and leading style of the previous three conferences, and constantly invite top industry experts worldwide to focus on eight cutting-edge directions in the form of conference reports, special invitation reports, and roundtable discussions, deeply exchange 6G research and development achievements, and jointly promote 6G cutting-edge innovation and international cooperation. Through on-site QA, instant TALK, and other forms, it will explore and share the insights and experiences of industry, academia, and research parties in 6G research and cooperation, so as to promote the formation of a globally unified 6G standard and ecological sharing experience and consolidate consensus.
