Biography

Lingjie Duan is an Associate Professor (Tenured) in the Engineering Systems and Design Pillar at Singapore University of Technology and Design.  He received Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2012. During 2011, he was a visiting scholar in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California at Berkeley. Note that in 2017 Clarivate ranked 亚洲色吧 as the fifth-most influential scientific research institution in telecommunications.

Lingjie Duan has been actively working and contributing to the interdisciplinary research field combining computer networks and game theory. He has used optimization and game theory extensively as both modeling languages and solution tools to study the cooperative or competitive interplay among various parties in communications and networking. He received 2016 亚洲色吧 Excellence in Research Award, and in 2015 he received the 10th IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award. He was also the Finalist of Hong Kong Young Scientist Award 2014 under Engineering Science track. He has many highly-cited top engineering and business publications, and his works on network economics attract ever-increasing attention from academia and industry. Among his recent publications, 6 journal papers were classified as ESI Highly Cited Papers (one during 2014-2015, one during 2015-2016, two in 2017, and one in 2018) by the ISI Essential Science Indicator on Web of Science. He is an Editor of both IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (TWC). He is also in a SWAT team member on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology. He was also an Editor of IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials (COMST) from 2016 to 2019. He also served as Guest Editor of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC), IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, and IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and networking. He is a General Chair of WiOpt 2023 Conference. Besides, he also served as the Co-Chair of Cognitive Radio and Networks Symposium of IEEE ICC 2019, the Workshop Co-Chair of IEEE WiOPT 2018, the Co-Chair of VTC 2017 Future Trends and Emerging Technologies track, the Program Co-Chair of IEEE INFOCOM’2014 GCCCN Workshop, ICCS’2014 special session on Economic Theory and Communication Networks,  the Wireless Communication Systems Symposium of IEEE ICCC 2015, the GCNC Symposium of IEEE ICNC 2016, and IEEE INFOCOM’2016 GSNC Workshop. He is also the Publicity Co-chair of IEEE WCNC 2017. He is a technical program committee (TPC) member of many leading conferences in communications and networking (e.g., ACM MobiHoc, IEEE INFOCOM, WiOPT, SECON, ICC, GLOBECOM and WCNC). He served as a General Chair of WiOpt 2023. He co-leads the 亚洲色吧 Wireless Innovation Centre (SWIC). His CV can be downloaded , and the ORCID link is
