About me:

I received MS and Ph.D. degrees from Communication Sciences Institute, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California (USC) in 1999 and 2003, respectively, supervised by Prof. P. Vijay Kumar.

During my PhD study at USC, I had worked as an intern engineer at Scintera Networks in San Jose, CA, and at Winbond Elec. Corp. in Torrance, CA. I was a post-doctoral research fellow supported by Prof. En-Hui Yang at Department of ECE, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. In Feb. 2004, I joined Department of Communications Engineering, National Chung-Cheng University. Since Aug. 2008 I have been with Institute of Communications Engineering and with Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, National Yang Ming Chiao-Tung University, where I am a full professor. My research interests are in the areas of B5G/6G MIMO wireless communication systems, mmWave communications, error correcting codes, information theory and quantum communications.

In April 2002, I received the Best Ph.D. Paper Award from Department of EE of USC. I was the recipient of 2006 Best Paper Award for Young Scholars awarded by IEEE Information Society Taipei Chapter and IEEE Communications Society Taipei/Tainan Chapter. I also received the 2007 Wu Ta You Memorial Award, 2007 IEEE ComSoc Asia Pacific Outstanding Young Researchers Award, and 2008 Academia Sinica Young Researcher Award. I was the Chapter Chair for IEEE Communications Society, Taipei Chapter during 2015-2016. I have been an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technologies.
