| Biography |
| Prof. Ser has been with the School of EEE since 1997. Prior to joining NTU, he was a Research Devision Head and Technological Advisor to the CEO of DSO National Laboratories. He received his Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees from the Loughborough University, UK. His research interests include sensor array signal processing and signal classification techniques. He has published more than 100 papers in international journals and conferences. He is the receipient of the Columba Plan Scholarship, the PSC Postgraduate Scholarship, an IEE Prize, a Defence Technology Prize, a DSO Excellence Award, and a best paper on speech processing presented at an international conference. He is an inventor/co-inventor of 6 patents and one pending patent. He is a senior member of the IEEE. Prof. Ser is an associate editor for the IEEE Communications Letters and the Journal of Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing. He has been a reviewer for several prestiguous international journals (IEEE Transaction on Signal Processing, IEEE Transaction on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, IEEE Transactions on Circuit and Systems, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, IEEE Journal of Selected Area of Communications, IEEE Communications Letters) and conferences (ICC, VTC, ISCAS, SIPS, etc.). He is a TC member of the IEEE Circuit and Systems Society and he has served as Chairman for the IEEE Signal Processing Chapter (Singapore). Prof. Ser has also served in international and national advisory and technical committees and as panel chair and speakers for several international symposium/workshop. He is currently a member of the IDM Expert Group set up by the National Research Foundation. |
