Biography

Geoffrey Ye Li received his B.S.E. and M.S.E. degrees in 1983 and 1986, respectively, from the Department of Wireless Engineering, Nanjing Institute of Technology, Nanjing, China, and his Ph.D. degree in 1994 from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Auburn University, Alabama.

He was with the University of Maryland at College Park, as a postdoctoral research associate, from 1994 to 1996 and with AT&T Labs-Research at Red Bank, N.J., as a senior and then a principal technical staff member from 1996 to 2000. Since 2000, he has been with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology as an associate and then a full professor. He has also held the Cheung Kong Scholar title at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China since March 2006.

His general research interests include statistical signal processing and telecommunications. He was elected as an IEEE Fellow "for his contributions to signal processing for wireless communications" in 2005, selected as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer from 2009-2010 by the IEEE Communications Society, and won the 2010 IEEE Communications Society Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award in the field of communications theory.
