This includes topics like how to focus radio signals and make devices use less power.

About Dinh Thuy Phan Huy

Dinh Thuy Phan Huy has also published her name in slightly different ways, like Dinh-Thuy Phan-Huy. She studied engineering at a famous school called Supelec. She graduated in 2001. Later, in 2015, she earned her Ph.D. in electronics and telecommunications. She got this degree from the National Institute of Applied Sciences in Rennes, France. Her Ph.D. research was about "Time reversal: application to mobile networks." This looked at how to use special radio wave techniques for mobile phones.

In 2018, she won a big award called the General Ferrié electronics grand prize. She received it for her work on focusing radio waves. This work helps make the Internet of Things more energy efficient. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to everyday objects connected to the internet. Her research led to the discovery and development of 15 new inventions.

Her Work at Orange Labs

In 2001, Dinh Thuy Phan Huy started working at France Telecom R&D. This company is now known as Orange Labs Networks. She was a senior researcher there. She also led a big French research project called TRIMARAN from 2011 to 2014.

Improving Mobile Networks

Phan Huy has been part of several important research projects in Europe. These projects aim to improve 5G and future mobile networks. 5G is the latest generation of mobile internet. These projects include:

• METIS (2012–2015): This project worked on new ways to make mobile and wireless communications better.
• Fantastic 5G: This project helped create a new standard for mobile radio.
• mmMAGIC: This project focused on using very high-frequency radio waves for 5G communications.
• 5GCAR: This European project explored how future wireless communication can help cars. It helps cars talk to each other and to the road.

She also led a project called ANR SpatialModulation (2016–2019). This project studied how to focus radio waves in space. This is a great way to connect smartphones at high speeds. It also helps mobile networks use less energy.

Dinh Thuy Phan Huy has applied for more than 40 patents. A patent protects an invention, so others can't copy it. She has also published over 20 research papers.
