Biography

Dr. Jian Song received his B. Eng and PhD degrees from Electronic Engineering Department, Tsinghua University, China in 1990 and 1995, respectively and worked for the same university upon his graduation. He then conducted Postdoctoral research work in The Chinese University of Hong Kong and University of Waterloo, Canada in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Dr. Song then joined the industry and has been with the Advance Development Group of Hughes Network Systems in USA for seven years before joining the faculty team in Tsinghua in 2005 as a full professor.

Dr. Song is now the Director of DTV Technology R&D Center of Tsinghua, which is one of the major technical contributors for the Chinese digital television terrestrial broadcasting standard, DTMB.
