Short Biography
Professor Wai Ho MOW
received his BSc (Electronics) in 1989, MPhil and PhD (Information
Engineering) in 1991 and 1993 respectively, all from the Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK). In 1994, he was a visiting assistant
professor at the Department of Information Engineering, CUHK. He was a
visiting scholar at the University of Waterloo, the Munich University
of Technology (TUM), the Kyoto University, and the University of
California at San Diego in , 2000, and 2010, respectively.
From 1997 to 1999, he was an assistant professor at the Nanyang
Technological University, Singapore. He joined the Department of
Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science
and Technology, in March 2000. He has been an Adjunct Professor of the
Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China from 2003 to
2008.&In spite of the
relatively short PhD study period, he received the Best PhD Thesis in
Engineering Award and the Young Scholar Dissertation Award. He was
also the recipient of the Croucher Research Fellowship (HK), the
Research Fellowship (Germany), the Telecommunications Advancement
Fellowship (Japan), the Tan Chin Tuan Academic Exchange Fellowship
(Singapore), the Wong Kuan Cheng Education Foundation Academic
Exchange Award (China), the Foreign Expert Bureau Fellowship (China)
and the Royal Academy of Engineering Award for Short Research Exchanges
with China and India (UK).&
His research
interests are in the areas of wireless communications, coding and information
theory.&He pioneered the lattice approach to signal detection problems
(such as sphere decoding and complex lattice reduction-aided detection)&and
unified all known constructions of perfect (or CAZAC)&root-of-unity sequences
(widely used as preambles and radar signals). Since Jun 2002, he has been
the principal investigator of over 16 funded research projects.&Citations of his

Contest, the First Prize of the 2015 Inno-China Entrepreneurship
Competition, the HKSTPC Technopreneur Gold Award of the 2014 YDC
E-Challenge Competition, and
and his supervised undergraduate students won
the first-runner up prizes of the 2002 & 2003 IEE HK YMS Project Competitions. A novel picture-embedding 2D barcode, , developed by the HKUST Barcode Group under his leadership was highlighted as one of the four local innovations in the , a flagship event organized by the Office of Government Information Officer, Hong Kong.
He was a past chair of the Hong Kong
Chapter of the IEEE Information Theory Society. He was a technical
program co-chair of the First Hong Kong Information Theory Colloquium
in 2000, the IEEE Information Theory Workshop in 2003, the First IEEE
Taiwan/Hong Kong Joint Workshop on Information Theory and
Communications in 2005, and the Second International Workshop on
Sequence Design and its Applications in Communications (IWSDA'05). He
was also the Chair of the Communication Theory Symposium of the
International Conference on Communications, Circuits and Systems
(ICCCAS'05 & '04), and the Finance Chair of the 2015 International
Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT'15).& He served the
technical program committees of various& international conferences
Globecom, ICC, ISITA,
ITW, VTC and WCNC.& He is currently an editor of IEEE Transactions
on Wireless Communications and was a guest/associate editor for
numerous special sections of the IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals. He
was a past industrial consultant for Huawei, ZTE, and Magnotech Ltd.
He was a member of
the Radio Spectrum Advisory Committee, Office of the Telecommunications
Authority, the Hong Kong S.A.R. Government from 2003 to 2008. He has been a Senior
Member of IEEE since 1999. His mathematical genealogy information is available .&
positions of Postdoc/RA in the area of Communications Signal Processing, Coding and
Information Theory (Display-Camera Visible Light Communications, Coding and Decoding for
Relay Channels) are NOW available. The
recruited Postdoc/RA may spend one day per week at the
