Irwin and Joan Jacobs Professor in Engineering
Biography:
Lang Tong joined Cornell University in 1998
where he is now the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Professor in Engineering.
Prior to joining Cornell University, he was on faculty
at the West Virginia University and the University of Connecticut. He
was also the 2001 Cor Wit Visiting Professor at the Delft University of
Technology. He received the
B.E. degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing,
P.R. China in 1985, and PhD degree in EE from the University of Notre
Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana in 1991. He was a Postdoctoral Research
Affiliate at the Information Systems Laboratory, Stanford University in
1991.
Lang Tong's
research is in the general area of statistical signal
processing, communication systems, and networks. Using theories and
tools from statistical inferences, stochastic processes, and information theory, his research group aims to address some of the fundamental and practical issues that arise from
wireless systems, communication networks, and information networks.
Lang Tong received the 2004 Best
Paper Award (with Min Dong) from the IEEE Signal Processing Society,
the 2004 Leonard G. Abraham Prize Paper Award from the IEEE
Communications Society
(with Parvathinathan Venkitasubramaniam and Srihari Adireddy),
and the 1993 Outstanding Young Author Award from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
He is a coauthor of six student paper awards, including two IEEE Signal Processing
Society Young Author Best Paper Awards (Qing Zhao in 2000 and Animashree Anandkumar in 2008) for papers published in the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.
He was the recipient of the 1996 Young Investigator Award from the Office of Naval
Research.
Lang Tong is a Fellow of IEEE. He is
named as a 2009
Distinguished Lecturer
by the IEEE Signal Processing Society.

Quote:
"Each morning before breakfast every single one of us approaches
an urn filled with white and black balls. We draw a ball. If it is
white,
we survive the day. If it is black, we die. The proportion of black
balls in the urn is not the same for each day, but grows as we become
older.... Still there are always some white balls present, and some of
us continue to draw them day after day for many years."---J. Neyman and
E.L. Scott
"If you would be a
real seeker after truth, it is necessary that
at
least once in your
life you doubt, as far as possible, all things."---René
Descartes.
