About Me
Dr. Zhengyu Peng is a radar systems engineer with deep expertise in automotive radar, signal processing, and antenna arrays. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Texas Tech University in 2018, following graduate work at Zhejiang University in China.
At Aptiv, he leads work on next-generation high-resolution imaging radar and automotive interference mitigation. He currently serves as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Radar Systems and previously held the same role for IEEE TIM. He sits on the SPIE Defense+Commercial Sensing Radar Sensor Technology Committee.
Beyond engineering, Zhengyu is an avid maker — 3D printing robots, building hexapods, and releasing open-source tools for the radar and RF engineering community.
My Journey
Featured Works
Hexapod
A 3D-printed hexapod robot powered by ESP32 and Arduino with WiFi-enabled remote control and OTA firmware updates.
SensorView
A sensor data visualization and analysis tool built for radar and RF engineers. Powerful yet approachable.
Smarty
A smart mini robot exploring autonomous navigation and embedded system design.
Antenna Array Analysis
A GUI tool for antenna array analysis supporting linear arrays, with pattern visualization and simulation.
Tx-Line Calculator
Android app calculating transmission line parameters: microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, coaxial, and more.
CommProbe
A multi-protocol communication testing tool built with Python and PySide6. It supports TCP, UDP, Bluetooth, CAN, and GPIB.
Research Projects
Radar system design, signal processing, and sensing applications developed during doctoral studies at TTU — spanning hardware prototyping, MIMO, beamforming, and bio-radar.
