Tufts LiNKS – Laboratory for communIcation in NetworKed Systems


Dr. Vu is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Tufts University. She leads Tufts LiNKS, the Laboratory for communIcations in NetworKed Systems, which conducts research in wireless systems, signal processing and networked communications. She and her group have published extensively in the areas of millimeter wave communications, 5G systems and algorithms, MIMO wireless communications, cooperative and cognitive communications, and energy-efficient communications. Dr. Vu is a senior member of the IEEE. She has served on the technical program committee of numerous IEEE conferences and during 2013-2016 was an editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. She also serves as a Technical Program Co-Chair of the IEEE Communication Theory Workshop 2023, and since November 2022 has been an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications.
