Short biography of co-chairs
David J. Love received the B.S. (with highest honors), M.S.E., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the
University of Texas at Austin in 2000, 2002, and 2004, respectively. Since August 2004, he has been with the
School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, where he is now a Professor
and recognized as a University Faculty Scholar. He has served as an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on
Communications, an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and a guest editor for special
issues of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications and the EURASIP Journal on Wireless
Communications and Networking. His research interests include massive MIMO, distributed MIMO, millimeter
wave communication, signal processing to minimize electromagnetic exposure, spectrum sensing, and MIMO array
processing. Dr. Love is an inventor on 23 issued US patents. He has received various paper awards including the
2009 IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology Jack Neubauer Memorial Award and multiple Globecom best
paper awards. He is recognized as an IEEE Fellow and Thomson Reuters Highly Cited Researcher.
Jin Shi received the Ph.D. degree in communications and information systems from the Southeast University,
Nanjing, in 2007. From June 2007 to October 2009, he was a Research Fellow with the Adastral Park Research
Campus, University College London, London, U.K. He is currently with the faculty of the National Mobile
Communications Research Laboratory, Southeast University. His research interests include space-time wireless
communications, random matrix theory, and information theory. He serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE
Transactions on Wireless Communications, and IEEE Communications Letters, and IET Communications. Dr. Jin
and his co-authors have been awarded the 2011 IEEE Communications Society Stephen O. Rice Prize Paper Award
in the field of communication theory and a 2010 Young Author Best Paper Award by the IEEE Signal Processing
Society.

He is currently an Associate Professor with the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, The
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. His research interests include cognitive radio, cooperative
communications, space-time coding, and MIMO. He serves as Editor for IEEE Trans. Wireless Communications,
Editor for IEEE Trans. Communications, and Editor for IEEE Trans. Cognitive Communications & Networking. He
was Editor for IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications - Cognitive Radio Series (2012-2014). He is the
Secretary of the IEEE ComSoc Wireless Communications Technical Committee. He was the TPC Co-Chair of ICC
2011 - Communication Theory Symposium the TPC Chair of GlobalSIP 2014 - Cognitive Radio Symposium. He
received the IEEE ComSoc Asia-Pacific Outstanding Young Researcher Award in 2009. He also received the best
paper award at IEEE Globecom 2007 and the best paper award at IEEE GlobalSIP 2014. He is an IEEE Fellow.
