REYES, Josyl Mariela R.

Josyl Reyes (formerly Josyl Rocamora) completed her PhD in Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE) major in Wireless Communications at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2023. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Santo Tomas (UST), Manila, Philippines in 2011 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BSc ECE). She completed her Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSc EE) major in Computer and Communications at the University of the Philippines Diliman in 2014.

Josyl has been a full-time Academic Staff at the UST Electronics Engineering (ECE) Department since 2013. She was chosen as one of the 22 women scientists from Asia and the USA to attend the 2018 Ewha-Luce International Seminar (ELIS) held at Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea, and was also the recipient of the 2018 Postgraduate Scholarship from the Hong Kong Association of University Women (HKAUW). She is one of the 25 participants from the Philippines in the “2024 Switch! Project” of the Asia Pacific Network Information Center (APNIC) Foundation. Since 2022, Josyl is one of the consultants of the Asia Open RAN Academy (AORA), a USAID-supported academy launched in the Philippines in 2022 intending to further the technical and research capacity of the telecommunications professionals in the Philippines and also other economies in Asia.

Her research interests include wireless sensing, IoT, and machine learning in communications. Her LinkedIn page is found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/josylmariela/, and her Google Scholar account is found at https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=yaCpk-sAAAAJ.
