Curriculum Vitae of Associate Professor Gan Woon Seng

Woon-Seng Gan received his BEng (1st Class Hons) and PhD degrees, both in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Strathclyde, UK in 1989 and 1993 respectively. He joined the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in 1993 and 1998 respectively. In 1999, he was promoted to Associate Professor. From 2008-2011, he was the Deputy Director of the Center for Signal Processing. He is currently the Head of Information Engineering Division, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Nanyang Technological University. His research interests include adaptive signal processing, active noise control, directional sound system, psycho-acoustical signal processing, and real-time embedded systems.

Dr. Gan won the Institute of Engineer Singapore (IES) Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award in 2001 for the work on Audio Beam System. He has published more than 200 international refereed journals and conferences, and has been granted five Singapore and US patents. He has co-authored a book on Digital Signal Processors: Architectures, Implementations, and Applications (Prentice Hall, 2005). This book has since been translated to chinese for adoption by universities in China. He is also the leading author of a new book on Embedded Signal Processing with the Micro Signal Architecture, (Wiley-IEEE, 2007). A book on Subband Adaptive Filtering: Theory and Implementation was also published by John Wiley in August 2009. His has also authored a book chapter in Rick Lyon’s latest book on Streamlining Digital Signal Processing: A Trick of the Trade Guidebook, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley-IEEE press, 2012.

He is currently a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society(AES), a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology(IET), a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a Professional Engineer of Singapore. In 2012, he became the Series Editor of the new SpringerBriefs in Signal Processing. He is also an Associate Technical Editor of the Journal of Audio Engineering Society (JAES); Associate Editor of the IEEE Transaction on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing; Editorial member of the Asia Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA) Transactions on Signal and Information Processing; and Associate Editor of the EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech and Music Processing. He is currently a technical committee member of the Design and Implementation of Signal Processing Systems (DiSPS), and the Industry DSP Technology (IDSP) standing committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
