Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYi Zhang is a Senior Wireless Systems Engineer with eight years of experience blending academic rigor and product-grade engineering across mmWave, PHY/MAC design, and ML-driven wireless optimization. After earning a Ph.D. from UT Austin under Robert Heath and Sanjay Shakkottai, he has driven end-to-end system bring-up, beamforming calibration, and Tx EVM characterization at Apple, where he now focuses on ML-based MAC/PHY enhancements. His background spans deep reinforcement learning, bandit algorithms, and deep learning receivers—work that produced DeepWiPHY, a DL OFDM receiver validated on tens of millions of symbols. Comfortable moving between prototype SDR labs and firmware-level debugging, he brings a rare mix of research depth and hands-on system delivery from Sunnyvale.
