About

Lingling Sun is a leading researcher in ultra-reliable communications for the Internet of Things (IoT), with a particular focus on integrating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into 5G and beyond networks. Her most influential work, "Ultra-Reliable IoT Communications with UAVs: A Swarm Use Case" (2018), has garnered 160 citations and addresses critical reliability challenges in multi-UAV communications, directly engaging with 3GPP specifications to shape future standards. This contribution positions her at the forefront of enabling resilient, swarm-based IoT architectures. Sun’s research portfolio also extends to control systems and robotics, including robust formation control for aerial vehicles under time-varying disturbances and the application of sensorless motor control in lower limb rehabilitation robots for Parkinson’s disease patients. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical reliability frameworks and practical, human-centered applications—from autonomous drone swarms to assistive medical devices. With a strong emphasis on real-world impact, Sun continues to drive innovation in dependable wireless systems and intelligent robotic control, making her a key figure in the evolution of next-generation IoT and cyber-physical systems.
