He has conducted scientific research at several institutions, including City University of Hong Kong, University of Oulu, Technology Innovation Institute in the UAE, and Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. He has also served as an Assistant Professor at the Macau University of Science and Technology and maintains close collaborations with universities such as the University of Oulu, Chalmers University of Technology, Khalifa University, Zhejiang University, and Tsinghua University. His primary research areas include next-generation wireless communication, sensing, and localization, integrated sensing and communication technologies, reconfigurable intelligent surface communication, millimeter-wave/terahertz communication, and AI-enabled communication and networking.

Dr. He has published over 40 IEEE journal papers, holds 3 U.S. patents, has contributed to two international book chapters, and authored three industry white papers. According to Google Scholar, his work has been cited over 2,100 times, with an h-index of 22. He has participated in several large-scale EU projects and Finland’s 6G Flagship program and is the principal investigator of a collaborative research project between Macau SAR and Guangdong Province. Currently, he serves as an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, a reviewer for EU ERC projects, and has taken on roles such as Session Chair, Track Chair, and TPC member for various IEEE conferences. He has received multiple Best Paper Awards and several IEEE journal Best Reviewer Awards, and has been named among Stanford/Elsevier World’s Top 2% Scientists.

I have several positions available for research assistants, postdoctoral researchers, research fellows, and visiting students. In the fall of 2025, I will be recruiting several master and PhD students. You need to have a solid professional background, be proficient in mathematics and English, and have a good knowledge of at least one programming language, as well as be familiar with LaTeX. Interested students are welcome to contact me at: jiguang.he@gbu.edu.cn.
