This is the second year in a row that Wang has won this award.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe QFA supports key professors and their research, with the goal of strengthening Qualcomm\u0026rsquo;s engagement with faculty who also play a key role in Qualcomm\u0026rsquo;s recruiting of top graduate students.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThere is a rapidly growing need for high-performance RF, millimeter wave (mm-Wave), and terahertz (THz) front-end circuits and transceiver systems to address the numerous 5G and Beyond 5G wireless communications and sensing applications. Wang\u0026#39;s research group has pioneered a variety of novel circuit topologies and system architectures that are agnostic to process technology platforms and can radically improve the bandwidth, energy-efficiency, robustness, and reconfigurability of RF, mm-Wave, and THz circuits and systems. Wang\u0026#39;s research has led to multiple papers in premier venues every year, including the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) and the \u003Cem\u003EIEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits\u003C\/em\u003E (JSSC).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWang is an associate professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). He is the director of the Georgia Tech Center of Circuits and Systems (CCS), and he leads the Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-Systems (GEMS) Lab. His research interests include innovating analog, RF, mm-Wave, and THz integrated circuits and hybrid systems for wireless communications, sensing, and bioelectronics applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWang is also the recipient of the 2020 DARPA Director\u0026#39;s Fellowship, 2020 Qualcomm Faculty Award, 2018 DARPA Young Faculty Award, 2017 IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Outstanding Young Engineer Award, and 2015 National Science Foundation CAREER Award. He held the Georgia Tech ECE Demetrius T. Paris Professorship from 2014-2018.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWang has authored or co-authored over 190 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers. His GEMS research group has won multiple academic awards and best paper awards, including the 2021 Barry Goldwater Scholarship, 2019 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar, the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium Best Student Paper Awards (2014, 2016, and 2018), the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference (CICC) Outstanding Student Paper Awards (2015, 2018, and 2019), the IEEE CICC Best Conference Paper Award (2017), the 2016 \u003Cem\u003EIEEE Microwave Magazine\u003C\/em\u003E Best Paper Award, and the IEEE SENSORS Best Live Demo Award (2016).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Associate Professor\u0026nbsp;Hua Wang has been selected for the 2021 Qualcomm Faculty Award (QFA) for his contributions to Next-Generation (5G Beyond and 6G) Wireless Circuits, Systems, and Infrastructures.
