Chong-Yung Chi (祁忠勇) (S’83-M’83-SM’89) was born in Taiwan, Republic of China, on August 7, 1952. He received the B.S. degree from the Tatung Institute of Technology, Taipei, Taiwan, in 1975, the M.S. degree from the National Taiwan University, in 1977, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Southern California in 1983, all in Electrical Engineering.

    He has been a Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering since 1989 and the Institute of Communications Engineering (ICE) since 1999 (also the Chairman of ICE for 2002-2005), National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan. From 1983 to 1988, he was with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. From 1988 to 1989, he was a visiting specialist at National Taiwan University. He was a visiting researcher at Advanced Telecommunications Research (ATR) Institute International, Kyoto, Japan, in 2001. He co-authored a technical book Blind Equalization and System Identification (approx. 480 pages) published by Springer-Verlag, 2006, and more than 150 technical papers in radar remote sensing, system identification and estimation theory, deconvolution and channel equalization, blind source separation and beamforming, high-order statistics based signal processing, and wireless communications. His current research interests include signal processing for wireless communications, statistical signal processing, and convex optimization for communications and signal processing.

    Dr. Chi is a member of European Association for Signal Processing, and an active member of the Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering. He has been a Technical Program Committee member for many IEEE sponsored and co-sponsored workshops, symposiums and conferences on signal processing and wireless communications, including co-organizer and general co-chairman of IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC) 2001. He was a co-chair of Signal Processing for Communications Symposium, ChinaCOM 2009 & ChinaCOM 2008. He was also the Chair of Information Theory Chapter of IEEE Taipei Section (7/2001-6/2003). He was an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. Signal Processing (May 2001 through April 2006), an Associate Editor for the IEEE Trans. Circuits and Systems II (1/2006-12/2007), a member of Editorial Board of EURASIP Signal Processing Journal (6/2005-5/2008), an editorial board member of EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing (JASP) (7/2003-12/2005) and a guest editor of EURASIP JASP special issue, “Multi-Sensor Processing for Signal Extraction and Applications,” 2006. Currently, he is an Associate Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, an Associate Editor of IEEE Trans. Circuits and Systems I, and a member of IEEE Signal Processing Committee on Signal Processing Theory and Methods.
