About Me

Hi, I am Chenye Wang, a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Cong Shen.

Before that, I received my M.Eng. degree in Electronic and Information Engineering at Fudan University, under the supervision of Prof. Yi Jiang and later by Prof. Xin Wang, in 2026. I received my B.Eng. degree in Communication Engineering from Chongqing University of Post and Telecommunications in 2023.

My research interests include signal processing, wireless communications, AI/ML.

  • Designed an OFDM end-to-end receiver using Transformer/ResNet architectures based on NVIDIA Sionna link-level simulation, achieving a 1~3 dB gain over a traditional LS/LMMSE channel estimator with LMMSE equalizer.
  • Developed a novel OFDM 2D positional encoding and integrated it into channel estimation for superimposed pilot(SIP)-aided MIMO-OFDM systems, outperform the conventional 1D positional encoding.
  • Based on 3GPP RAN1 standards and specifications, proposed an SRS-aided DMRS overhead reduction for MIMO-OFDM channel estimation in 5G NR. Worked on the robustness and generalization evaluation of the proposed transformer model.
