H. C. So was born in Hong Kong. He obtained the B.Eng. degree from City University of Hong Kong and the Ph.D. degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, both in electronic engineering, in 1990 and 1995, respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation was focused on the design and performance analysis of adaptive systems for time-difference-of-arrival estimation, which has important applications such as direction finding, source localization and velocity tracking.
From 1990 to 1991, he was an Electronic Engineer at the Research and Development Division of Everex Systems Engineering Ltd., Hong Kong. During 1995-1996, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In the summer of 1996, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, Canada. From 1996 to 1999, he was a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He has published over 100 refereed journal and conference papers in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, IEEE Transactions on Vechicular Technology, Signal Processing, IET Electronics Letters, International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), and more. His research interests include statistical signal processing, fast and adaptive algorithms, signal detection, parameter estimation, and source localization. Currently, he is an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, Handling Editor for Signal Processing and Digital Signal Processing as well as Editor for ISRN Applied Mathematics. He is also a Member in Signal Processing Theory and Methods Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
