Biography

Y.L. Guan received his Ph.D. degree from the Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine (University of London) in 1997, and B.Eng. degree with 1st class honors from the National University of Singapore in 1991. In 1991-1994, He worked in Singapore Telecom and Singapore Technologies as cellular mobile radio system engineer and wireless sensor design engineer respectively. He is now an Associate Professor with the Division of Communication Engineering in the School of EEE, Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He is also the Director of the Positioning and Wireless Technology Center (PWTC) of NTU.

He is the principal investigator of 7 past and present externally funded research projects related to UWB signal processing, MIMO coding, Turbo decoding and digital watermarking. He has also provided numerous technical consultancy services to, and conducted technical courses for, the local industry and statutory boards in Singapore. He has been granted 1 patent and has filed another, both on video watermarking. He has published a monograph, over 140 journal and conference papers, and 3 book chapters.
