Personal Profile

Dr. Huang received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in radio physics from the School of Electronic Information at Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei, China, in 1995, 1997, and 2001, respectively. He completed an M.Eng. and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in electrical and computer engineering at Memorial University, St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada, in 2004 and 2007, respectively.

From 2008 to 2010, he was a Design Engineer with Rutter Technologies, St. John’s, NF, Canada. Since 2010, he has been with the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Memorial University, where he received an early tenure and promotion to Associate Professor in 2015 and was promoted to Full Professor in 2019. His research interests include mapping of oceanic surface parameters via high-frequency ground wave radar, X-band marine radar, synthetic aperture radar, and global navigation satellite system reflectometry. He has published about 400 refereed research papers. 

Dr. Huang was a Member and the Co-Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Evaluation Group for Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Discovery Grants from 2018 to 2021. He is an Executive Committee Member of the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES). He is the Chair of Commission F (Wave Propagation and Remote Sensing) of Canadian National Committee (CNC) for the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). He is a subject Editor-in-Chief for IET Electronics Letters, a section Editor-in-Chief of Remote Sensing, and he has been an Associate Editor for eight journals such as IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation. He has been the General Chair/Co-Chair for a few national/international conferences, e.g., the IEEE 20th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics, the IEEE OES 13th Currents, Waves, and Turbulence Measurement Workshop, Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing.
