Dr. C. Patrick Yue (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S. degree (Hons.) in electronic and computer engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA, in 1992, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, in 1994 and 1998, respectively.,He was promoted to a Full Professor with the University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA, in 2010. In 2016, he took a sabbatical leave from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Hong Kong, to the Institute of Microelectronics, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, as a Visiting Chair Professor.
Since 2011, he has been a Professor with the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering, HKUST, where he is currently the Director of the Integrated Circuit Design Center (ICDC), the Optical Wireless Laboratory (OWL), and the Qualcomm Joint Innovation and Research Laboratory. He has contributed to more than 200 peer-reviewed articles and two book chapters and holds 20 granted patents. His research interests include optical wireless physical layer circuits and systems, high-speed wireline communication system-on-a-chip (SoC), millimeter-wave communication, and sensing circuits.
Dr. Yue is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and a fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA). He was awarded the 11th Guanghua Engineering Science and Technology Youth Award by the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in 2016. He and his students received the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) Best Student Paper Award in 2003, the IEEE International Wireless Symposium (IWS) Best Student Paper Award in 2016, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Outstanding Young Author Award in 2017. He has served on the technical program committees for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the IEEE Symposium on VLSI Circuits (VLSI-Circuits), the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC), the IEEE European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC), the IEEE IWS, and the IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference (A-SSCC). He was an Editor of IEEE Electron Device Letters and IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine and a Guest Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques. Since 2018, he has been an Editor of Proceedings of the IEEE.
