On October 21, 2025, Chengdu played host to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (IEEE VTC-Fall). At this prestigious event, a trio of accomplished scholars from Peking University's School of Electronics—Assistant Professor Hongliang Zhang, Assistant Professor Boya Di, and Professor Lingyang Song—were bestowed with the highly coveted 2025 IEEE Neil Shepherd Memorial Best Paper Award.
This award, instituted by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society in 1993, is a mark of academic excellence. Each year, it singles out just one exceptional paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology journal over the preceding five-year period, making the recognition both rare and prestigious.
