Honggang Zhang

Honggang Zhang is a Full Professor at the Department of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University, China. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Kagoshima University, Japan, in March 1999. Prior to that, he received the B.E. and M.E. degrees, both in electrical engineering, from the Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST), China, in 1989, and from the Lanzhou University of Technology, China, in 1992, respectively. From October 1999 to March 2002, he was with the Shin-Kawasaki Research Center, Telecommunications Advancement Organization (TAO) of Japan, as a TAO Research Fellow. From April 2002 to November 2002, he joined the TOYOTA IT Center, where he performed research and development on software-defined radio (SDR) with applications to intelligent transport systems (ITSs). Moreover, from December 2002 to August 2004, he has been with the UWB Research Consortium, Communications Research Laboratory (CRL), and National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) of Japan, where his R&D responsibilities were focused on the UWB wireless communications, IEEE 802.15.3a & 4a WPAN standardizations, Wireless 1394, and “1394-over-UWB” smart home networks. He was the Founding Member of the UWB Forum and the Principle Author and the contributor for proposing DS-UWB in the IEEE 802.15 WPAN standardization task group, for which he initiated the Soft-Spectrum Adaptation (SSA) technique and contributed to its worldwide developments. From September 2004 to February 2008, he has been with CREATE-NET (http://www.create-net.org/), where he led its wireless teams in exploring cognitive radio (CR) and its integration with ultrawideband (UWB) technologies for open-spectrum wireless communications and networks evolution (i.e., CR-UWB: ultrawideband cognitive radio) while participated to a number of European FP6/FP7 projects (EUWB, PULSERS 2).
