Yang Hao (engineer)

In May 2000, he joined the Antenna and Electromagnetics Group in the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science at QMUL, initially as a lecturer, advancing to Reader in 2005, and eventually becoming a Professor in 2007.

Additionally, he served on the EPSRC SAT (Strategic Advisory Team), emphasizing the importance of ICT, electronics, and manufacturing, and holds positions on the management boards of the AI for Science and Government program at the Alan Turing Institute,[18] and the Cambridge Graphene Centre,[19] as well as on the boards of the European School of Antenna Excellence, Virtual Institute for Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials, Metamorphose VI AISBL,[20] and International Advisory Committee (IAC) of the Comin Labs.

He co-developed stable active non-Foster metamaterial for small antennas and coined the term "body-centric wireless communications," which involves integrating wearable and implantable sensors.

His early research in metamaterials, transformation optics, and AI-driven robotics for precise wave control has impacted electromagnetic devices and medical communication technology.

He integrated Huygens' principle into FDTD algorithms for precise analysis of on-body radio propagation,[34] and while emphasizing the significance of human-specific modelling, devised commercial tools for designing wearable and implantable sensors.

[38][39] His work on metamaterials and transformational optics, published in leading journals such as Physics Review Letters, Nature Communications, and IEEE Transactions,[40][41] focused on applications to antennas and propagation.

[41] He demonstrated the feasibility of manufacturing satellite antennas in various shapes using flat surfaces and thin nanomaterial layers via 3D printing, offering cost-effective, compact, and resilient designs.

Employing Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, he applied machine learning techniques to forecast trends in antennas and propagation research using vast unstructured data.
