| Prof. Ying-Ren ChienNational Ilan University, China From June 2010 to July 2011, Ying-Ren Chien has joined the Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology as an assistant researcher fellow. Since August 2011, he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering, National Ilan University, Ilan, Taiwan. Currently, he is a Full Professor. His research interests include adaptive signal processing theory, DSP in VLSI, signal processing on communication system, game theory, high-speed network transmission, cooperative communication, cognitive radio, and interference cancellation. In 2007, he received the Best Paper Award in the area of communication theory and systems of the 2007 International Conference on Communications, Circuits and Systems (ICCCAS). |
| Prof. Lei LiuZhejiang University, China Dr. Lei Liu is a tenure-track young professor at Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He serves on the technical program committee for IEEE Globecom, IEEE ICC, IEEE ICCC, and IEEE VTC, and as a Reviewer for IEEE JSAC, IEEE TWC, IEEE TSP, IEEE TCOM, NeuISP, ICML, IEEE TVT, IEEE IoTJ, etc. He has long been engaged in research on message-passing algorithms and their applications in statistical signal processing, wireless communications and information theory, and is one of the first researchers in the world to study memory message-passing algorithms. He was the first to present the optimal compiled code principle and prove the capacity optimality of the parallel iterative Turbo-LMMSE algorithm for NOMA systems; the first to propose a low-complexity and capacity-optimal AMP joint detection and decoding algorithm for discrete large-scale MIMO, which is a promising solution for 5G+ communications; one of the first researchers in the world to propose the memory message passing (MAMP) mechanism; and the inventor of the universal, low complexity and minimum mean square error optimal MAMP algorithm, breaking through the matrix limitation and high-complexity bottleneck of the existing AMP class algorithms. MAMP has great application prospects in statistical signal processing, wireless communications, artificial intelligence, and other fields. |
