Hsiao-Chuan Wang received the
B.S. degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei,
in 1969, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the
University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, in 1973 and 1977, respectively. He joined the Department of Electrical
Engineering at National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1977, and was the Chair of Department during 1986 – 1992. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering (now the
International Journal of Electrical Engineering) in 1993 – 1995. He has served as Chair of the IEEE Taipei Section in
1997 – 1999 and Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio
Processing in 1999 – 2002. He was the President of the Association of
Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing during 1999–2001. He
is now Professor Emeritus. His research interests include speech signal
processing and digital signal processing.
