Biographies:
Octavia A. Dobre is an Associate Professor with Memorial University (MUN),
Canada, which she joined in 2005. Previously she was with New Jersey Institute of
Technology, USA, and Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, Romania. She received the
Dipl. Ing. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of
Bucharest in 1991 and 2000, respectively. In 2000 she was the recipient of a Royal
Society scholarship at Westminster University, UK, and in 2001 she held a Fulbright
fellowship at Stevens Institute of Technology, USA. In 2013, she was a Visiting
Professor with University of Brest, France, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
USA. Also in 2013, she received the first award for excellence in research from the Faculty of
Engineering at Memorial University.
Dr. Dobre’s research interests include cognitive radio systems, spectrum sensing techniques, blind signal
recognition and parameter estimation techniques, transceiver optimization algorithms, dynamic spectrum
access, cooperative wireless communications, resource allocation, and optical communications. She
published over 100 referred journal and conference papers in these areas.
Dr. Dobre is a senior editor for the IEEE Communications Letters, as well as an editor for the IEEE
Communications Surveys and Tutorials and ELSEVIER PHYCOM. She served as an editor for the IEEE
Communications Letters, guest editor for the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics on Signal Processing and
IEEE Communications Magazine, and lead guest editor of the ELSEVIER PHYCOM ”Cognitive Radio:
The Road for its Second Decade” special issue. She has been the General Chair of the IEEE CWIT 2015,
Co-Chair for the IEEE CrownCom 2015 (Emerging Applications for Cognitive Networks Track), IEEE
WCNC (PHY and Fundamentals Track), IEEE VTC Fall 2014 (Spectrum Sensing and Cognitive Radio
Track), IEEE ICC 2013 and IEEE GLOBECOM 2013 (Signal Processing for Communications
Symposium), IEEE VTC Spring 2013 (Multiple Antenna Systems and Services Track), ICNC 2012
(Signal Processing for Communications Symposium), and IEEE CCECE 2009 (Signal and Multimedia
Processing Track). She currently serves as the Chair of the IEEE Communications Society’s Women in
Communications Engineering Committee. She is a registered Professional Engineer in Newfoundland.
Xiang Cheng received the Ph.D. degree from Heriot-Watt University and the
University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, U.K., in 2009, where he received the
Postgraduate Research Thesis Prize.
He has been with Peking University, Bejing, China, since 2010, first as a Lecturer,
and then as an Associate Professor since 2012. His current research interests include
mobile propagation channel modeling and simulation, next generation mobile cellular
systems, intelligent transportation systems, and hardware prototype development.
He has published more than 100 research papers in journals and conference
proceedings. He received the best paper award from the IEEE International
Conference on ITS Telecommunications (ITST 2012) and the IEEE International
Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2013). Dr. Cheng received the ”2009 Chinese National
Award for Outstanding Overseas PhD Student” for his academic excellence and outstanding performance.
He has served as Symposium Leading-Chair, Co-Chair, and a Member of the Technical Program
Committee for several international conferences. He is now an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on
Intelligent Transportation Systems.
Kaushik Chakraborty received the B.Tech. degree in electronics and electrical
communication engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India, and
the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University
of Maryland, College Park.
Since 2008, Kaushik has been working at Qualcomm Inc., where he is currently a Staff
Systems Engineer at the Office of the Chief Scientist. Prior to joining Qualcomm, he
was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the California Institute of Telecommunications and
Information Technology (CalIT2), University of California, San Diego.
His research interests are in the areas of cooperative and intelligent communication systems for next
generation mobile communication networks. He has authored several journal and conference papers and
patents in these areas.
