Biography
Vincent obtained B.Eng (Distinction 1st Hons) from the University of Hong Kong (1989-1992) and Ph.D. from the Cambridge University (1995-1997). He completed the Ph.D. degree in two years and joined Bell Labs from 1997-2004. He joined the Department of ECE, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2004 and is currently a Professor and the Founding Director of Huawei-HKUST Joint Innovation Lab at HKUST. He is also elected as IEEE Fellow, Croucher Senior Research Fellow and Changjiang Chair Professor. Vincent has published more than 200 IEEE journal and conference papers and has contributed to 28 US patents on various wireless systems. In addition, he is also the key contributor of four IEEE standard contributions to IEEE 802.22 (WRAN / Cognitive Radio). His current research focus includes robust cross layer optimization for MIMO/OFDM wireless systems, interference mitigation techniques for wireless networks, delay-optimal cross layer optimizations as well as multi-timescale stochastic network optimization. He has obtained three IEEE best paper awards and is currently an area editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, area editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, EUARSIP Wireless Communications and Networking as well as guest editor of JSAC.
