Geoffrey Li (FREng, DSc), with a DSc from Imperial College London (ICL), is a Chair Professor at ICL. Before joining ICL in 2020, he was with Georgia Tech and AT&T Labs – Research (previous Bell Labs) for about 25 years in total. He made fundamental contributions to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for wireless communications, established a framework on resource cooperation in wireless networks, and pioneered deep learning for communications. In these areas, he has published over 700 journal and conference papers in addition to over 40 granted patents. His publications have been cited over 85,000 times with an H-index over 130. He has been listed as a Highly Cited Researcher by Clarivate/Web of Science almost every year.

Dr. Geoffrey Ye Li received 2024 IEEE Eric E. Sumner Award, 2019 IEEE ComSoc Edwin Howard Armstrong Achievement Award, and several other awards from IEEE Signal Processing, Vehicular Technology, and Communications Societies. He was elected to Fellow of the Royal Academic of Engineering (FREng), IEEE Fellow, and IET Fellow for his contributions to signal processing for wireless communications.

He is currently focusing on deep learning for signal processing and wireless communications. More details can be found at the lab website: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/intelligent-transmission-and-processing-laboratory/.
