Phil Yeoh

Dr Yeoh is a Senior Lecturer at UniSC focused on digital signal processing and communications engineering. His current research is on designing secure wireless communication systems to provide reliable low-latency connectivity to users in areas of poor wireless coverage. His research has applications in a wide range of industries requiring secure, reliable, and low-latency communications including transport, mining, agriculture, health, and advanced manufacturing.

Dr Yeoh has previously worked at The University of Melbourne, The University of Sydney, and University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany, to develop secure multiple-antenna wireless protocols for large-scale IoT applications based on machine learning and blockchain technologies. His research in wireless communications has been supported by the ARC DECRA Fellowship, ARC Discovery Project, and Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship schemes. He has also received best paper awards at top international engineering conferences of the IEEE Communications Society including ICC, VTC, and PIMRC.

Dr Yeoh has an excellent track record in research supervision with 2 PhD students supervised to completion as principal supervisor, and 9 PhD students co-supervised to completion at the University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne. He has also supervised undergraduate and Master thesis projects on wireless communication applications for drones, IoT blockchains, decentralised machine learning, quantum key distribution, and molecular communications.
