SUN-YUAN KUNG
Professor S.Y. Kung received his Ph.D. Degree in Electrical
Engineering from Stanford University in 1977.
In 1974, he was an Associate
Engineer of Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale, CA. From 1977 to 1987, he
was a Professor of Electrical Engineering-Systems of the University of
Southern California, L.A. Since 1987, he has been a Professor of
Electrical Engineering at the Princeton University. In addition, he
held a Visiting Professorship at the Stanford University (1984); and
a Visiting Professorship at the Delft University of Technology (1984);
a Toshiba Chair Professorship at the Waseda University, Japan (1984);
an Honorary Professorship at the Central China University of Science
and Technology (1994); and a Distinguished Chair Professorship at
the Hong Kong Polytechnic University since 2001. His research
interests include VLSI array processors, system modelling and
identification, neural networks, wireless communication, sensor array
processing, multimedia signal processing, bioinformatic data mining
and biometric authentication.
Professor Kung has authored more than 400 technical
publications
and numereous
textbooks,
Professor Kung has co-authored more than 400 technical publications
and numerous textbooks
including "VLSI and Modern Signal Processing,"
with Russian translation, Prentice-Hall (1985), ``VLSI Array
Processors'', with Russian and Chinese translations, Prentice-Hall (1988); ``Digital Neural Networks'', Prentice-Hall (1993) ;
``Principal Component Neural Networks'', John-Wiley (1996); and
``Biometric Authentication: A Machine Learning
Approach'', Prentice-Hall (2004).
Professor Kung is a Fellow of IEEE since 1988. He served as a Member
of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
(1989-1991). He was a founding member of several Technical Committees
(TC) of the IEEE Signal Processing Society , including VLSI Signal
Processing TC (1984), Neural Networks for Signal Processing TC (1991)
and Multimedia Signal Processing TC (1998), and was appointed as the
first Associate Editor in VLSI Area (1984) and later the first
Associate Editor in Neural Network (1991) for the IEEE Transactions
on Signal Processing. He presently serves on Technical Committees on
Multimedia Signal Processing. Since 1990, he has been the
Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems.
Professor Kung was a recipient of IEEE Signal Processing Society's
Technical Achievement Award for his contributions on "parallel
processing and neural network algorithms for signal processing"
(1992); a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Signal Processing Society
(1994) ; a recipient of IEEE Signal Processing Society's Best Paper
Award for his publication on principal component neural networks
(1996); and a recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal (2000).
