Research Fields: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing for wireless communications
Geoffrey Ye Li, FREng (Fellow of Royal Academic of Engineering) and Fellow of IEEE, is a Chair Professor at Imperial College London, UK. Before joining Imperial in 2020, he was a Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, for 20 years and a Principal Technical Staff Member with AT&T Labs – Research (previous Bell Labs), USA, for five years. He is the first to introduce deep learning to communications in 2016, which has become a popular research area now. He made fundamental contributions to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for wireless communications, which made him win 2024 IEEE Eric E. Sumner Technical-Field Award. He also won several awards from IEEE Signal Processing, Vehicular Technology, and Communications Societies, including 2019 IEEE ComSoc Edwin Howard Armstrong Achievement Award.
