University of Toronto in 1987, and the
Ph.D. degree from
Cornell University in
1990, all in electrical engineering. He is currently Distinguished Professor
of Electrical and Computer
Engineering, University of California, Davis, CA. His research
contributions cover a broad range
of signal processing and communication problems including wireless
transceiver optimization, blind channel estimation and
equalization, multi-input-multi-output communications, multiuser
detection, source separation, adaptive signal processing, parameter
estimation, radar target discrimination, multimedia wireless
communications, and cross-layer wireless communications. He
has
published over 400 refereed papers and book chapters.
Dr. Ding has served on a number of technical programs for SPS workshops
and conferences. He was associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing
from 1994-1997 and again from 2001-2004. He also served as
associate editor of IEEE Signal
Processing Letters from 2002-2005. He was a member of technical
committee on Statistical Signal and Array Processing, member
of technical committee on Signal Processing for Communications
(1994-2003), and a member of the IEEE SPS Technical Committee on Multimedia Signal
Processing(2001-2006). He was a member of the
Editorial Board for the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine.
Dr. Ding was on the Organization Committee of ICASSP 2005 in
Philadelphia. He was the Technical Program Chair of the 2006 IEEE
Globecom and General Chair of the 2016 IEEE ICASSP.
Dr. Ding is a Fellow
