Rate My Professor Satoshi Denno

Satoshi Denno is a Professor in the Faculty of Environmental, Life, Natural Science and Technology at Okayama University. He received his M.E. degree in 1988 and Ph.D. degree in engineering in 2000, both from Kyoto University. Denno's professional career commenced in 1988 upon joining NTT Wireless Systems Laboratories, where he contributed to wireless communication research. In 1997, he was seconded to ATR as a researcher and director at the Environmental Adaptation Communication Research Laboratories. He later served as Chief Engineer at NTT DoCoMo in 2000 and as Lab Director of the Wireless Solution Lab at DoCoMo Communications Laboratories Europe GmbH in 2002. In 2004, he joined Kyoto University as an Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Informatics. Since 2011, he has held professorial positions at Okayama University, initially in the Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, advancing to Professor in the Faculty of Natural Science in 2021 and the Faculty of Environmental, Life, and Natural Sciences in 2023.

Professor Denno's research focuses on advanced wireless communication systems, including overloaded MIMO spatial multiplexing, physical layer network coding, non-orthogonal multiple access, cooperative relaying, interference cancellation, and signal processing techniques for enhanced performance in mobile and multi-hop networks targeting 5G and 6G applications. His key publications encompass 'Overloaded MIMO Assisted Bi-Directional Communication With Resource Allocation in 2-Hop Relay Networks Based on Physical Layer Network Coding' (IEICE Trans. Commun., vol. E109-B, no. 10, 2026), 'Low Complexity Resource Allocation Based on Linear Search For Frequency Domain Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access' (IEICE Trans. Commun., vol. E109-B, no. 6, 2026), 'Uplink Overloaded MIMO Spatial Multiplexing With Iterative Colored Noise Cancellation in Massive MIMO Systems' (IEICE Trans. Commun., vol. E108-B, no. 5, 2025), and 'Overloaded MIMO Spatial Multiplexing Independent of Antenna Setups' (IEICE Trans. Commun., vol. E108-B, no. 1, 2025). Denno has earned significant recognition, including IEICE Fellowship in 2024, the IEICE Communications Society Best Paper Award in 2020 for 'A Novel Low Complexity Lattice Reduction-aided Iterative Receiver for Overloaded MIMO', Best Paper Award at WPMC2016, Outstanding Paper Awards at ICMIC2024, WPMC2022, and ICACT2021, among others. As principal investigator, he has secured multiple Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research projects from JSPS, such as 'Analysis of an overloaded spatial multiplexing for high speed wireless communication links' (2024-2026). His contributions have advanced efficient wireless technologies for future networks.
