Biography

Qiang (John) Ye received the PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, ON, Canada, in 2016. Since Sept. 2023, he has been an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Software EngineeringSchulich School of EngineeringUniversity of Calgary, AB, Canada. Before joining UCalgary, he worked as an Assistant Professor with the Memorial University of Newfoundland, NL, Canada from Sept. 2021 to Aug. 2023 and with the Minnesota State University, Mankato, USA, from Sept. 2019 to Aug. 2021, respectively. He was with the Department of Electrical and Computer EngineeringUniversity of Waterloo as a Postdoctoral Fellow and then a Research Associate from Dec. 2016 to Sept. 2019. He has published over 75 research articles on top-ranked journals and conference proceedings. He is/was the General, Publication, Program Co-chairs for different reputable international conferences and workshops, e.g., IEEE ICCC'23, CANAI'23, IEEE VTC'22, IEEE INFOCOM'22, and IEEE IPCCC'21. He serves as Associate Editors of various top-tier IEEE Transactions/Journals, e.g., IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking, IEEE Internet of Things Journal, and IEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society. He also serves/served as the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Region 7 Chapter Coordinator (2024) and the Regions 1-7 Chapters Coordinator (2022-2023), and the IEEE Communications Society Southern Alberta Chapter Vice Chair (2024). Dr. Ye received the Best Paper Award in the IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC) in 2024 and the IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking Exemplary Editor Award in 2023. Dr. Ye has been has been named among the World’s Top 2% Scientists in 2023 and 2024 (by Stanford/Elsevier). Dr. Ye has been selected as an IEEE Communication Society Distinguished Lecturer for the class of 2025-2026. He is a Senior Member of IEEE.
