I am Haonan Wang, a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Xianghao Yu. My research lies at the intersection of wireless communications, signal processing, and mathematical optimization, where I build optimization frameworks and algorithms that unlock the potential of next-generation antenna architectures for 6G and beyond.

If you are a researcher interested in these directions, you are warmly welcome to get in touch — I am always glad to discuss potential collaborations.
