Biography

I earned my MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1990 and 1994, respectively. I was a senior member of the technical staff in the Communications Program at General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center from July 1994 to July 1999. From August 1999 to July 2003, I was a principal member of technical staff at AT&T Shannon Laboratory . In August 2003, I joined UT Dallas as a tenured Associate Professor, became a Full Professor in 2007, and the Erik Jonsson Distinguished Professor of Engineering in 2010. At UT Dallas, I direct the Broadband Information Transmission & Signal processing (BITS) Laboratory and serve as Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Education. I'm co-inventor of 43 issued US patents, co-author of over 600 papers, and co-recipient of 8 IEEE best paper awards. I was elected Fellow of the IEEE (class of 2008) for "contributions to high-rate communications through broadband channels". I received the 2019 IEEE SPCC technical recognition award and the 2022 IEEE RCC technical recognition award, both from the IEEE Communications Society. I was elected Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (class of 2020) for "demonstrating a highly prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on the quality of life, economic development, and the welfare of society". I'm a Fellow of AAIA and a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. I received a 2021 Qualcomm Faculty Award.
