Jianwei Huang (S'01-M'06-SM'11) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received B.E. in Radio Engineering from Southeast University (Nanjing, Jiangsu, China) in 2000, M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northwestern University (Evanston, IL, USA) in 2003 and 2005, respectively. He worked as a Postdoc Research Associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University during 2005-2007. He was a visiting scholar in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences at Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne (EPFL) during the Summer Research Institute in June 2009, and a visiting scholar in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at University of California-Berkeley in August 2010.

Dr. Huang currently leads the Network Communications and Economics Lab (ncel.ie.cuhk.edu.hk), with the main research focus on nonlinear optimization and game theoretical analysis of networks, especially on network economics, cognitive radio networks, and smart grid. He has more than 100 publications in leading international journals, conferences, and books, which have been cited around 2000 times according to Google Scholar. He is the recipient of the IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in Wireless Communications in 2011, the International Conference on Wireless Internet Best Paper Award 2011, the IEEE GLOBECOM Best Paper Award in 2010, Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications Best Paper Award in 2009, the IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award in 2009, and Walter P. Murphy Fellowship at Northwestern University in 2001.

Dr. Huang has served as one of the founding Editors of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications - Cognitive Radio Series, Editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication in the area of Wireless Networks and Systems, Guest Editor of IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications special issue on "Economics of Communication Networks and Systems", Lead Guest Editor of IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications special issue on "Game Theory in Communication Systems", Lead Guest Editor of IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic on "Communications Network Economics", and Guest Editor of several other journals including (Wiley) Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, Journal of Advances in Multimedia, and Journal of Communications.

Dr. Huang has served as Chair of Meetings and Conference Committee of IEEE ComSoc Asia Pacific Board (2012-2013), Vice Chair of IEEE MMTC (Multimedia Communications Technical Committee) (2010-2012), Director of IEEE MMTC E-letter (2010), the TPC Co-Chair of IEEE WiOpt (International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks) 2012, the Publicity Co-Chair of IEEE Communications Theory Workshop 2012, the TPC Co-Chair of IEEE ICCC Communication Theory and Security Symposium 2012, the Student Activities Co-Chair of IEEE WiOpt 2011, the TPC Co-Chair of IEEE GlOBECOM Wireless Communications Symposium 2010, the TPC Co-Chair of IWCMC (the International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing) Mobile Computing Symposium 2010, and the TPC Co-Chair of GameNets (the International Conference on Game Theory for Networks) 2009. He is also a TPC member of leading conferences such as INFOCOM (2009 - 2013), MobiHoc (2009, 2012), ICC, GLBOECOM, DySPAN, WiOpt, NetEcon, and WCNC. He is a senior member of the IEEE.
