Biography

Dr Cheng Tee Hiang received his BEng and PhD degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Strathclyde in 1988 and 1992, respectively. He is a faculty member of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where he began his academic career as a lecturer in March 1992 and was subsequently promoted to senior lecturer and then associate professor. He also served on a two-year secondment, from June 2002 to June 2004, to the Institute for Infocomm Research, as Principal Research Scientist and Head of the Lightwave Department. While with NTU, Dr Cheng held the concurrent appointment of Director of Network Technology Research Centre from April 1998 to April 2002. He has been appointed Head of Communication Engineering Division for a period of three years, from 1 July 2005. He has been involved in a couple of major research programs in Singapore. From 1998 to 2001, he was the Research Manager of the US$15 million Singapore Advanced Research and Education Network (SingAREN) project. From February 2002 to April 2004, he led the US$10 million Optical Network Focused Interest Group (ONFIG) Optical Access Network Program. Dr Cheng has published more than 70 research papers in international refereed journals, presented more than 70 papers at international conferences, and filed three patents. He is a co-founder of RFNet Technologies Pte Ltd, which specialises in the design of wireless and broadband networking products. Presently, he is a technical editor of IEEE Communication Magazine and a senior member of IEEE.
