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.
I have served as a technical consultant for about a dozen (start-up and large) companies
on various aspects of wireless and wireline communications systems. My expertise includes algorithms
design and analysis, due diligence studies, technical reports and technology
summaries, computer simulations, and serving as technical expert
in IP litigation.
