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 also served as an associate editor
for the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology from 2002 to 2008.
