Texas ECE PhD student Tianlong Chen has been awarded a 2022 Adobe Research Fellowship. Adobe created the Research Fellowship program to recognize outstanding graduate students anywhere in the world carrying out exceptional research in areas of computer science important to Adobe. Chen is one of only 10 Fellows for 2022. Chen received his BS from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2017 and joined Texas ECE in Fall 2018. He is supervised in Texas ECE by Prof. Atlas Wang.

  This April, WNCG Prof. Jeffrey Andrews and other experts met with FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to discuss spectrum innovation. The discussion between Wheeler and Andrews explored how current research can inform FCC and U.S. spectrum policies and research investments for a still-undefined 5G cellular standard.

As mobile wireless communications progress, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is exploring technologies that could lead to the emergence of a new generation of millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless spectrum by the year 2020. Before mmWave carrier frequencies can be applied to cellular networks, spectrum allocations and regulatory frameworks must be determined.
