Li Huang received his B. Eng degree in Electronics and Information Engineering from Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST) and his Ph. D degree from both the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e).

Since he joined Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC) at Holst Centre in 2006, he has been involved in various industry and European projects on ultra low power design for different wireless communication systems. He has also been active in different wireless standards. He designed baseband algorithms for IMEC’s ultra wideband (UWB) Integrated Circuit (IC) chip, which is known to be the first digital chip for the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. He also contributed several proposals for the emerging IEEE 802.15.6 standard.

He has published more than 40 papers/reports/books, one of which was among the top 10 of most downloaded papers in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing in 2007. In addition, he has been the session chair, technical editor, invited speaker, technical reviewer in many recognized international journals and conferences. He has also supervised Ph.D. and Master Students from several renowned universities.

 His research interests include signal processing (estimation, equalization, detection, synchronization, etc.), link budge analysis, channel modeling, coexistence study, Media Access Control (MAC) protocol design, wake-up radio, system-level and cross layer design for wireless sensor networks.
