Biography

Dr. Chaoyun Song is currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Engineering at King’s College London, UK. His research interests include wireless energy harvesting and power transfer, rectifying antennas (rectennas), flexible and stretchable electronics, metamaterials and meta-surfaces, and low-power sensors.

Chaoyun received his BEng, MSc, and PhD degrees in electrical engineering and electronics from the University of Liverpool, UK, in 2012, 2013, and 2017, respectively. Prior to joining King’s in 2023, he was an Assistant Professor for 3 years in the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland. He has published over 100 papers (including more than 40 IEEE transactions) in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. Chaoyun holds 4 US/EU patents on rectenna technology, and some of them have been utilized by UK start-up companies.

Dr. Song is a Senior Member of IEEE. He has served as a regular reviewer for more than 30 international journals, including Nature Communications, and over 15 IEEE transactions and journals. He has also served as session chair and/or TPC member for several conferences, including EuCAP2018, IEEE AP-S Symposium 2021, IEEE VTC2022-fall, and EuCAP2023. Dr. Song has been a guest editor for Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, IEEE Open Journal on Antennas and Propagation and is an Associate Editor for Frontiers in Communications and Networks.

Dr. Song has received numerous international awards, including.

  • IEEE AP-S Young Professional Ambassador 2023.
  • EuCAP Best Antenna Paper Award 2023
  • Raj Mittra Travel Grant 2023
  • IET Innovation Awards 2018
