He was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the STAR Lab at Queen Mary University of London, London, U.K. (July 2022 - July 2024). He received the Ph.D. degree in Information and Communication Engineering from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing, China, in June 2022.

Dr. Mu serves as the Public Engagement and Social Networks Coordinator of IEEE ComSoC SPCC-TC and the secretary of the IEEE ComSoc Next Generation Multiple Access (NGMA) Emerging Technology Initiative. He also serves as an Editor of IEEE Transactions on Communications. Dr. Mu is the recipient of the [2023 IEEE ComSoc Outstanding Young Researcher Award for the Europe, Middle East and Africa Region] and the co-recipient of the [2024 IEEE Communications Society Heinrich Hertz Award for Best Communications Letter], the [2022 IEEE ComSoc SPCC TC Best Paper Award], the [ISWCS 2022 Best Paper Award], and the [IEEE VTC2022-Fall Best Student Paper Award].

To Prospective Students

I'm always looking for self-motivated students who want to pursue a Ph.D degree on 6G research directions in `SWIFT LAB@QUB' including but not limited to the following:

• Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting Surfaces (STARS)
• Near-field Wireless Communications and Sensing
• Next Generation Multiple Access

Students with strong backgrounds in wireless communications, signal processing, mathematical optimization, and machine learning are encouraged to apply. If you are interested in joining us, please send your CV, transcript, and ranking to me via email.

I also welcome applications for post-doctoral research or visiting students/scholars. I am happy to support your proposal application and hold your position in CWI of QUB.
