PhD (University of Southern California, U.S.A)

MEng (University of Tsukuba, Japan)

BEng (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong)

Dr. Simon Pun received his BEng. from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 1996, MEng. from University of Tsukuba, Japan in 1999 and Ph.D. from University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, U.S.A in 2006, respectively. He was a post-doctoral research associate at Princeton University (USA) from 2006 to 2008. His studies were generously supported by merit-based scholarships from the Japanese Government (Monbusho), the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund and the Croucher Foundation.

Prior to joining CUHK(SZ) in 2015, he held research positions at Huawei (USA), Mitsubishi (Boston) and Sony (Tokyo). Prof. Pun’s research interests include AI Internet of Things (AIoT) and applications of machine learning in communications and satellite remote sensing. He has established four joint research labs with leading enterprises such as DeRucci and MizarVision as lab director, working in key research areas such as IoT technology for smart home and satellite remote sensing.

Dr. Pun served as associate editor in the channel modeling track for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications in 2010 - 2014. Dr. Pun has published more than 100 technical publications with over 2800 citations. He also holds 12 granted patents including LTE essential patents. Among his publications, his book entitled "Multi-Carrier Techniques for Broadband Wireless Communications" is collected by 1200 libraries worldwide including the National Library of China and the M.I.T. library. Dr. Pun has received three prestigious best paper awards including IEEE VTC'06 Fall, IEEE ICC'08 and IEEE Infocom'09.

Dr. Pun also serves as the associate college master for Harmonia College (2020-) and the director of the Nobel Class (2018-) at CUHK(SZ). He was the assistant Dean (Student Affairs) of the School of Science and Engineering from 2016 to 2019.
