Kung Yao is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Electrical Engineering Department of UCLA known for his contributions in Communication Theory, Signal and array processing, and Systolic algorithms.[1].
Academic Career
Kunh Yao graduated with a Summa Cum Laude B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (1961) and continued to the doctoral program at Princeton University. After finishing his doctoral study (1965), he was a NAS-NRC Postdoctoral Fellow at University of California, Berkeley, (1965-1966). He joined UCLA as an Assistant Professor in 1966. After 49 years, he retired as a Distinguished Professor Emeritus and a Research Professor. During his tenure, he served as an Assistant Dean of the HSSEAS (1985-1988) and as the Chair of the Faculty Executive Committee (legislature body of the faculty members) of HSSEAS (2001-2003). In his sabbaticals, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor at M.I.T. (1968-1969), and was the Royal Society Kan Tong Po Visiting Professor at HK Polytechnic University (2007)[2].
Professional Contributions
Kung Yao has several publications in IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering). He is a co-author of a two-volume series of an IEEE Reprint Book, “High Performance VLSI Signal Processing” (1997)[3]; and the lead co-author of the book, “Detection and Estimation for Communication and Radar Systems,” Cambridge University Press (2013)[4]
Kung Yao worked at The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS), University of California, Los Angeles His professional interests include: communication theory, systolic and VLSI algorithms, and signal/array processing.
Recent Awards
