Green Electromagnetic Spectrum

From Physical Limits of Information to Integrated Communications, Sensing, and Power Transfer

Our Vision & Goals

We aim to redefine the green boundaries of 6G by breaking disciplinary barriers. Our vision is to build a "zero-power, zero-blind-spot, and energy-self-sufficient" digital world through the deep integration of communication, sensing, and power transfer.

Global Recruitment

We are conducting global recruitment for 40 elite PhD students. To ensure a diverse academic environment, the cohort will consist of:

50% International
50% Domestic

The Organizing Committee reserves the right of final selection based on academic merit and program fit.
