**Angela Yingjun Zhang** is a Professor in the Department of Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong and an IEEE Fellow.[^cuhk-profile] Her official homepage places her work in wireless communications and networking, with emphasis on optimization and learning in 5G and 6G wireless communication systems.[^cuhk-about]

## Biography

Zhang is a faculty member in [The Chinese University of Hong Kong](./The_Chinese_University_of_Hong_Kong.md)'s Department of Information Engineering. Her official biography states that she received a PhD from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2004 and is a Fellow of both IEEE and IET. The same page records service roles across IEEE communications venues and editorial boards.

## Research

Her research pages list wireless communications and networking as the main area. The specific topics include machine learning and AI in wireless communication and networking, convex and non-convex optimization, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, massive MIMO, semantic and task-oriented communications, and 5G and 6G wireless technologies. In this wiki, these topics form the institutional context for Qiao's [AI and networks](./AI_and_Networks.md) direction.

## Connection to Qiao

Zhang is [Xinbao Qiao](./Xinbao_Qiao.md)'s doctoral advisor at CUHK. This advisor relation is used in the biography to connect Qiao's earlier data-centric machine-learning work with a doctoral emphasis on networked AI systems, decentralized learning, and communication-aware reliability.
