Bio DC11

Jingxin Zhang is a Doctoral Candidate, DC11, for MSCA SMARTTEST at the Department of Electrical Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL). She will carry out research on Autonomous resource management for EMF reduction and energy efficiency maximization. The objective is to develop autonomous management of distributed radio units and its power/beam allocation for dynamic sensing and health monitoring tasks, in order to minimize the EMF and energy consumption while keeping the sensing/diagnosis accuracy. The Doctoral Candidate is expected to design an optimization algorithm to reduce EM radiation in the direction of users whilst improving system energy efficiency, and validate it in collective performance.

She obtained her bachelor’s degree in Communication Engineering at the Harbin Institute of Technology in 2021. She also holds a master’s degree in Engineering (Communication Technologies and System Design) from the Technical University of Denmark in 2023. Her previous experience includes developing signal processing and optimization algorithms for 5G MIMO physical layers, such as channel estimation and equalization, as well as working with IoT prototyping systems.
