Biography

Tat M. Lok received the BSc degree in electronic engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the MSEE degree and the PhD degree in electrical engineering from Purdue University. He was a post-doctoral research associate at Purdue University.

 

In 1996, he joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he is currently an associate professor. His research interests include communication theory, signal processing for communications and CDMA systems. He has served on TPCs of different international conferences including IEEE ICC, VTC, Globecom, WCNC, ISIT, and etc. He was a co-chair of the Wireless Access Track of IEEE VTC’04 Fall. He is also serving as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology.
