Biography:
Lang Tong joined Cornell University in 1998 where he is now a Professor. Prior to joining Cornell University, he was on faculty at the West Virginia University and the University of Connecticut. He was also the 2001 Cor Wit Visiting Professor at the Delft University of Technology. He received the B.E. degreee from Tsinghua University, Beijing, P.R. China in 1985, and PhD degree in EE from the University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana in 1991. He was a Postdoctoral Research Affiliate at the Information Systems Laboratory, Stanford University in 1991.
Lang Tong is a fellow of IEEE. He received the 1993 Outstanding Young Author Award from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the 2004 best paper award (with Min Dong) from IEEE Signal Processing Society, and the 2004 Leonard G. Abraham Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Communications Society (with Parvathinathan Venkitasubramaniam and Srihari Adireddy). He is also a coauthor of six student paper awards, including two IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Awards (with Qing Zhao in 2000 and Animashree Anandkumar in 2008). He received Young Investigator Award from the Office of Naval Research. He is named as a 2009 Distinguished Lecturer by the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
