2023 – 2024 Research Highlights
Overview
Dr. Lian received the B.Sc degree from the College of Economics & Management of Shanghai JiaoTong University (SJTU) in 1984, and the Ph.D degree from the Electrical Engineering Department of National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1994. He spent 9 years in industry before joining NUS in 1996 where he was appointed as the first Provost’s Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and served as the Deputy Department Chair for Research, Area Director for IC and Embedded Systems of the department, member of University Tenure and Promotion Committee, and member of Senate Delegacy. Currently he is a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
His research interests are in biomedical circuits and systems and energy efficient signal processing. His research has won many awards including 1996 IEEE Guillemin-Cauer Award for the Best Paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems and 2008 Multimedia Communications Best Paper Award from the IEEE Communications Society, the 2011 Institute of Engineers Singapore Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award, 2012 Faculty Research Award of NUS, CN Yang Award in Science and Technology for New Immigrant(Singapore 2014), Design Contest Award in ISLPED 2015, IEEE Circuits and Systems Society 2023 Mac Van Valkenburg Award for contributions and leadership in biomedical circuits and systems, 2023 IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems Best Paper Award. He is a Fellow of IEEE, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and the Academy of Engineering Singapore.
