BIOGRAPHY

Shuguang Cui received his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, California, USA, in 2005. He is now working as an associate professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. He joined ShanghaiTech University as a visiting professor during 2013 to 2014. His current research interests include network science for cyber-physical systems, resource allocation for cognitive networks, network information theory, statistical signal processing for complex systems, and general communication theories.
 
He is the co-recipient of the IEEE Signal Processing Society 2012 Best Paper Award. His research papers have been highly cited, (according to the data on 6/9/2012 from Web of Science) with 11 papers ranked within the top 15 most highly cited papers among all published over the same time periods in the corresponding journals: In particular, two of them ranked No.1, two of them ranked No. 2, and eight of them ranked within top 10. His research has been generously supported by NSF and DoD. He was awarded the TEES Select Young Faculty Fellow based on the excellence in research performance by Dwight Look College of Engineering, in 2011.
 
He has been the associate editors for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Communication Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology. He has been the TPC chair or Symposium TPC chairs for various conferences including CTW, ICC, and Globecom. He is the elected Secretary for IEEE ComSoc Wireless Technical Committee, and an elected member for IEEE Signal Processing Society SPCOM Technical Committee.

He has been elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2013 (Class of 2014), for contributions to cognitive communications and energy efficient system design.
