He is remains associate editor for the IEEE AES Magazine, and ISIF’s Journal of Advances in Information Fusion. He is a member of the IEEE AESS Board of Governors and of the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Sensor-Array and Multichannel (SAM) technical committee (and is now Chair). 2. Stevens Institute of Technology, Prof. Hongbin Li Hongbin Li received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, in 1991 and 1994, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, in 1999, all in electrical engineering. From July 1996 to May 1999, he was a Research Assistant in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida. He joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, as an Assistant Professor in July 1999, and has been a Professor since September 2010. He was a Summer Visiting Faculty Member at the Air Force Research Laboratory in the summers of 2003, 2004 and 2009. Dr. Li's general research interests include statistical signal processing, sensing, and wireless communications. He has published about over 110 referred journal papers (80+ in IEEE journals) and some 150 conference papers in these areas. His research has been funded by AFOSR, AFRL, ARO, DARPA, NJCS&T, NSF, ONR, and several local companies. He has presented invited talks and tutorials at various occasions. Dr. Li received the IEEE Jack Neubauer Memorial Award in 2013 (with former students/postdoc Pu Wang, Jun Fang, and Ning Han) for the best systems paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, the Outstanding Paper Award from the IEEE AFICON Conference in 2011, the Harvey N. Davis Teaching Award in 2003 and the Jess H. Davis Memorial Award for excellence in research in 2001 from Stevens Institute of Technology, and the Sigma Xi Graduate Research Award from the University of Florida in 1999. He is presently a member of the IEEE SPS Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM) Technical Committee and a past member of the IEEE SPS Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) Technical Committee. He has been an Associate Editor for Signal Processing (Elsevier), IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, as well as a Guest Editor for IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing and EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing. He has been involved in numerous conference organization activities, including serving as a General Co-Chair for the 7th IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing (SAM) Workshop, Hoboken, NJ, June 17-20, 2012. 3. University of California, IEEE Fellow, Prof. Yingbo Hua Yingbo Hua is a senior full professor with University of California, Riverside, where he joined in 2001. During 1990-2000, he held a faculty position with the University of Melbourne, Australia, where he was promoted to the rank of Reader from 1996. He was a visiting professor with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology during 1999-2000 and a consultant with Microsoft Research in summer 2000. He received a Ph.D. Degree from Syracuse University, NY, in 1988, and a B.S. Degree from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in Feb 1982. His research interests are theories and applications of signal processing, wireless communications and sensor networks. He has published over three hundreds of articles and coedited three volumes of books, with thousands of citations, covering such topics as high resolution signal processing, sensor arrays, reduced rank processing, subspace tracking, source separation, blind de-convolution, channel estimation, channel coding, resource allocation, MIMO relays, full-duplex radios and radio interference cancellation. Since 1994, he has served as Editor and Guest Editor for five premier journals by the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the IEEE Communications Society, and the European Association for Signal Processing. His papers are also published in the premier journals by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, the IEEE Information Theory Society, the IEEE Neural Networks Society, and the International Federation of Automatic Control. Since 1992, he has helped more than fifty international conferences and workshops on their organizing and/or technical committees. Since 1990, he has advised over 50 Ph.D. students, postdocs, visiting scholars and master-by-thesis students. About 14 of them have been or are now university professors in Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe, USA and China, and many others are with companies like Qualcomm, Broadcom, IBM, AT&T, GE, Apple, VIA, Finisar, etc. He is a Fellow of IEEE from 2002 and AAAS from 2011. 4. Villanova University, Prof. Yimin Zhang Dr. Zhang graduated from Xidian University, China, and received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Tsukuba, Japan. He is currently a Research Professor and the Director of the Wireless Communications and Positioning Lab at the Center for Advanced Communications, Villanova University, Pennsylvania. His general research interests lie in the areas of statistical signal and array processing, time-frequency analysis, compressive sensing, and convex optimization for applications in radar, wireless communications, and navigation.
