I am currently on the 2026â2027 academic job market for tenure-track faculty positions!
Aloha! this is Tianxin Wang (ç夊揣)
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh. I have been working with Prof. Mahesh Marina since October 2025. I received my Ph.D. in Information and Communication Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in September 2025, complemented by joint doctoral training at Imperial College London (2023 - 2025) under the SJTU Zhiyuan Honors Doctorate Program. I was fortunate to be co-supervised by Prof. Xudong Wang at SJTU and Prof. Geoffrey Ye Li at Imperial. Before that, I received my B.S. in Information Engineering from Southeast University in 2020.
My research focuses on AI-native mobile networks, particularly the radio access network (RAN). It spans three complementary directions in AI-RAN systems: AI-for-RAN, using AI to improve RAN operational performance; AI-on-RAN, delivering AI services to users from the network edge; and AI-and-RAN, enabling RAN and general AI workloads to share the same infrastructure. Across these directions, I build network digital twins and real-world testbeds to develop dependable system designs.
