Short Biography


Hsi-Pin Ma (M’98) received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the National Taiwan University, Taiwan, in 1995 and 2002. At the summer of 2000, he interned at Siemens Telecommunication Systems Limited, for feasibility study and establishment of a dual-mode base station for WCDMA and cdma2000. Since 2003, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Institute of Communications Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, where he is currently as Associate Professor.

Dr. Ma’s research interests include communications system design and SoC implementation, power efficient/energy efficiency signal processing, and biomedical signal processing and system applications. He has published 12 journal and 58 conferences papers, and 4 US patents and other international patents. He also has four cases of technology transfer to the industries.

Research Interests


My group is working mainly on biomedical electronics applications and related signal processing. For communications, the system design, signal processing algorithm development, and SoC implementation for advanced MIMO communications and cognitive radio are still covered. Techniques related to UAV are started to be involved.

  • Biomedical Electronics Applications: System design, prototyping, and energy-efficient DSP processing; mobile phone sensors/apps for biomedical applications; wearable applications; interdisciplinary art team collaboration

  • Biomedical Signal Processing: ECG signal preprocessing, analysis, and statistics; closed-loop neural signal processing

  • Communication Systems and SoC Implementation: System design, performance analysis and implementation (Advanced MIMO Communications, Cognitive Radio); drone-related technologies and applications; 5G.
