Yang Chen is Doctoral Candidate, DC01, for MSCA SMARTTEST at Adant Technologies Inc. and the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering (DEIB) from the Politecnico di Milano . He will carry out research on ISAC implementation and performance of WLAN beam-steering system & multi-beam multi-band hopping combined with 5G NR FR2/FR3 cellular beam-reconfigurable system. The objective is to implement ISAC and advanced signal processing for accurate range, angle and (micro-)Doppler estimation from channel state information using sub-6GHz WLAN beam-steerable system in the presence of hardware imperfections. And to develop fast multi-band multi-beam hopping mechanism to enhance ISAC performance of simultaneous use of mm-wave and sub-6 GHz with minimal overhead. The Doctoral Candidate is expected to realize techniques for beam-steering WLAN ISAC as well as practical strategy for multi-band and multi-beam hopping.
He obtained his bachelor’s degree in Communication Engineering at the Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2019. he also holds master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg (FAU) in 2025. During his time as a student assistant at FAU, he collaborated with researchers from Fraunhofer IIS to develop Doppler satellite positioning algorithms. This work has been published and included in IEEE. Furthermore, his master's thesis on FMCW radar simulation was completed at Fraunhofer IEM.
