Biography

James Yi Gong received his Ph.D. degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2002, and M.Eng. and B.Eng. degrees from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 1998 and 1995, respectively, all in electrical engineering.

From 2002 to 2003, he was a Member of Professional Staff at the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Company Limited (ASTRI), Hong Kong, where he was involved in developing algorithms for wireless local area networks. Since July 2003, he has been with the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, as an Assistant Professor. He has been serving as Technical Program Committee member or Track Chair for prestigious IEEE conferences including ICC, GLOBECOM, VTC, and ICICS. He is a Senior Member of IEEE. Currently, he is an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications.
