Summary
Juquan Mao is a Senior Simulation & Modelling Architect and Principal Engineer with nine years focused on 5G research and development, currently driving 5GIC projects and commercial simulators at NEC Telecom MODUS. He blends deep systems-level expertise across PHY, MAC and network layers with hands-on algorithm development for link- and system-level 5G NR simulation, massive MIMO, mixed numerologies, network slicing and radio resource allocation. His background spans academia and industry—from a PhD at Surrey and award-winning simulator work to carrier-grade core network delivery at Huawei—so he moves concepts from theory to deployable solutions. Known as a tenacious self-starter, he thrives under pressure and leads collaborative R&D to solve customer-facing problems. He also maintains an open-source 5G NR link/system simulator presence on GitHub, reflecting a practical focus on reproducible research and tooling. Based in England, he combines statistical modelling, optimisation and integration skills to accelerate both protocol-standard work (3GPP RAN1/RAN4) and product-ready implementations.
