Short Bio of Dr. Xiliang Luo

Xiliang Luo received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the Peking University, Beijing, China, in 2001, and his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis in 2003 and 2006, respectively.

Xiliang Luo was with SPiNCOM research group led by Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis. After finishing his PhD studies, he joined Qualcomm and carried out cutting edge researches in Qualcomm Research at different posts: senior engineer (2006), staff engineer (2010), and then senior staff engineer (2013). His work in Qualcomm included: system design, analyses, and standardization of 3GPP LTE starting from initial Rel-8 till Rel-11. He was the designer of various enhancements to Qualcomm’s current LTE solutions and he led the designs of Qualcomm’s next generation LTE modem for heterogeneous networks from initial concepts to final completion. In August 2014, Xiliang Luo joined the ShanghaiTech University and he is now a tenured Associate Professor in the School of Information Science and Technology.

His general research interests lie in signal processing, communications, and information theory. In particular, he is interested in researches combining information theory and signal processing theory that can shape and guide the designs of next generation wireless networks and information processing. Till now, Xiliang Luo has published more than 100 research papers in top journals and conferences. Meanwhile, he is the (co)-inventor of more than 70 US and international patents, majority of which have been adopted into the LTE and LTE-Advanced standards. He is currently the Co-Director of Shanghai Institute of Fog Computing Technology (SHIFT). He has also served as an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and a (co-)Chair/TPC member for a variety of IEEE flagship conferences.
