Jinfeng Du

Biography

Jinfeng received his Bachelor degree from USTC, China, and his Master, Licentiate, and PhD degrees from KTH, Sweden, all in Electrical Engineering. Before joining Bell Labs in NJ, Jinfeng spent two years at MIT as a postdoctoral researcher. Jinfeng's research interests are in the general area of wireless communications, especially in communication theory, multi-user information theory, radio systems design and evaluation, millimeter wave propagation and channel modeling. Our department in Radio Systems Research Lab is to develop novel, superior, and disruptive technologies for wireless communication and sensing focusing on the physical and medium access layers, radio resource management, and system design. We are devoted to establishing fundamentals as well as to developing game-changing, high-impact technologies and concepts for radio connectivity in an ever-widening range of frequency bands.
