Prof LU Yilong is currently in the School of School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He received the B.Eng degree in January 1982 from Harbin Institute of Technology (Harbin, China), the M.Eng degree in November 1984 from Tsinghua University (Beijing, China), and the Ph.D degree in November 1991 from University College of London (London, UK). All degrees are in electronic engineering.
From November 1984 to September 1988, he was with the Department of Electromagnetic Fields Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (Chengdu, China) as a lecturer in the Antenna Division. He joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) in December 1991 and he is currently a full Professor in the Communication Engineering Division. He was a Visiting Scientist at University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA) from October 1998 to June 1999.
His research interests include radar, antennas, microwave engineering, array based signal processing, computational electromagnetics, and evolutionary computation for optimization of complex problems. Dr Lu has authored/co-authored 1 monograph, 5 book chapters, and more than 200 journal and conference papers in his research areas. He has been the Principal Investigator of more than 10 research projects since 1995 with a total funding of more than SGD6.5 millions.
Dr. Lu is the Deputy Director of Centre for Modeling and Control of Complex Systems; the coordinator of the Microwave Circuits, Antennas and Propagation research group; and the Supervisor of Communication Research Laboratory and Communication Laboratory I, in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He is also the Programme Leader of the Radar Programme in Temasek Laboratories, NTU.

US 2020/0028248 A1: Multi-Band, Shark Fin Antenna For V2X Communications (2020)
Abstract: A multi-band antenna suitable for use by vehicles has ports for Wi-Fi and DSRC signals, cellular signals, and GPS signals. A base substrate forms a ground plane, and a shark-fin shaped radiating substrate is transversely aligned with the base substrate. On a first side of the radiating substrate there is a first conductive feed strip with a vertical extending portion that is galvanically connected to the first port, and a second conductive feed strip that is galvanically connected to the second port. On a second side of the radiating substrate there is a first wide-slot that is capacitively coupled to the first and second feed strips, is galvanically connected to the base conductor, and overlaps with at least the extending-portion of the first feed strip. There also is a second wide-slot on the second side that extends from a back edge to a location between the first and second ports.
