I. Brief Introduction to Faculties / Laboratories / Teams / Research Groups / PI

1. Research Group Introduction

The Millimeter‑wave and Terahertz Devices and Systems Research Team belongs to the School of Electronic Science and Technology, School of Information, Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo. It was founded by Associate Professor Kang Zhou, a recipient of the National Young Talent Program.

Balancing academic innovation and engineering applications, the group targets B5G/6G wireless communications and radar sensing technologies. Its research covers microwave / millimeter‑wave / terahertz devices and antennas, RF integrated circuits and systems, and related topics.

Committed to cultivating outstanding professionals with innovative scientific thinking, the research group provides superior research conditions, competitive compensation packages, and broad career‑development prospects together with diverse academic exchange and collaboration opportunities. Positions including postdoctoral researchers (joint‑training postdoctoral certificates will be issued by Tsinghua University, University of Science and Technology of China and other universities), research‑track staff, and research assistants are open on an ongoing basis. Outstanding young talents, scholars and visiting students worldwide with relevant research backgrounds are warmly invited to join the group.
