Geoffrey Ye Li (S’93–M’95–SM’97–F’06) received the B.S.E. and M.S.E. degrees from the Department of Wireless Engineering, Nanjing Institute of Technology, Nanjing, China, in 1983 and 1986, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Auburn University, Alabama, in 1994.
He was a Teaching Assistant, and then a Lecturer with Southeast University, Nanjing, from 1986 to 1991, a Research and Teaching Assistant with Auburn University, from 1991 to 1994, and a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with the University of Maryland at College Park, Maryland, from 1994 to 1996. He was with AT&T Labs-Research at Red Bank, NJ, USA, 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, Georgia Institute of Technology, as an Associate Professor and then a Full Professor. He has been also holding a Cheung Kong Scholar title with the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, since 2006.
His general research interests include statistical signal processing and communications, with emphasis on cross-layer optimization for spectral-and energy-efficient networks, cognitive radios and opportunistic spectrum access, and practical issues in LTE systems. In these areas, he has authored around 200 journal papers in addition to around 40 granted patents and numerous conference papers. He received the IEEE Fellow for his contributions to signal processing for wireless communications in 2005. He received the 2010 Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award, the 2013 emphWTC Wireless Recognition Award, the 2017 Award for Advances in Communication from the IEEE Communications Society, the 2013 James Evans Avant Garde Award, the 2014 Jack Neubauer Memorial Award from the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, the 2015 Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Tech. His publications have been cited over 28 000 times. He has organized and chaired many international conferences, including the Technical Program Vice-Chair of the IEEE ICC’03, the Technical Program Co-Chair of the IEEE SPAWC’11, the General Chair of the IEEE GlobalSIP’14, and the Technical Program Co-Chair of the IEEE VTC’16 (Spring). He has been recognized as the World Most Influential Scientific Mind, also known as a Highly-Cited Researcher, by Thomson Reuters. He has been involved in editorial activities for over 20 technical journals for the IEEE, including the founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE 5G Tech Focus.
