BIO
Prof. Xiaojing Huang is currently a Professor of Information and Communications Technology at University of Technology Sydney, Australia. With over 37 years of combined industrial, academic, and scientific research experience, he has published over 450 book chapters, refereed journal and conference papers, and major commercial research reports, and filed 31 patents.
Prof. Huang had been a Principal Research Scientist with Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and led the research and development of high speed microwave and millimeter wave wireless communications systems since March 2009. Prof. Huang won the 2013 CSIRO ICT Centre Leadership Achievement Award in recognition of his exceptional leadership in developing the world's fastest 10 Gbps microwave backhaul system, known as Ngara Backhaul, as well as his outstanding research and commercial outcomes. CSIRO Ngara backhaul won 2012 CSIRO ICT Centre Research Achievement Award, 2012 CSIRO Chairman's Medal, and 2012 Australian Engineering Innovation Award.
Before joining CSIRO, Prof. Huang had been an Associate Professor at University of Wollongong since January 2004. In addition to his teaching and supervising roles, Prof. Huang conducted extensive research on wireless and ultra-wideband (UWB) communications technologies with research funding over $1.7 M from ARC, the University, and industry. He actively participated in IEEE standards activities including IEEE 802.11 WLAN and IEEE 802.15 WPAN standards. Prof. Huang also contributed significantly to the University in collaborating with international institutions such as Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Tsinghua University.
While working in Motorola Australian Research Centre from June 1998 to December 2003, Prof. Huang made significant contributions in communications channel modeling, wireless digital modulation and demodulation, and spread spectrum systems for high speed and UWB communications. He developed an independent Rayleigh fading channel model which is now widely known and used by researchers and developers as the Li-Huang model. He designed advanced signal processing algorithms for Motorola's paging and WLAN systems, which had been incorporated into Motorola's production chip set. Prof. Huang pioneered UWB research at Motorola Labs from early 1999 and created critical patent filings and publications.
Prior to joining Motorola, Prof. Huang was the Chief Engineer with Shanghai Yang Tian Science and Technology Corporation Limited from 1994 to 1997, and had worked in the Electronic Engineering Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from 1989 to 1994, where he had been a Lecturer since 1989 and an Associate Professor since 1991.
