David Huang received his PhD from National Taiwan University. He is currently employed as associate professor at Ocean College, Zhejiang University. He has been conducting active research in the area of advanced signal processing for underwater acoustic communication and sensing systems. The complexity of the aquatic environment and the sophistication of underwater acoustic communication pose tremendous challenges, which demand the research work to start from ground up. David’s research focuses on underwater acoustic channel, including modeling, tracking, analysis and simulation. He successfully deals with the problem of tracking correlated and non-stationary channels especially for the channels impaired by internal waves. He has also developed the hardware/software of the underwater wireless sensor network system, which serves as invaluable platform and tools for the advances of distributed underwater sensing.

Before David started his academic career, he was a senior manager at Accton Group, prior to that; he was a senior research scientist at Philips Research. He had led a development team in the digital TV and information appliance system group and had successfully delivered a low-cost Bluetooth system prototype with software implemented baseband to the customer. While he was with Accton group, he had completed several project as the system architect due to his profound expertise in the area of (embedded) system architecture design and implementation, including software/hardware co-design and partitioning.
