Biography
Ivan Wang-Hei Ho is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He received the B.Eng. and M.Phil. degrees in Information Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London, UK. He worked on the MESSAGE project funded by EPSRC and Department for Transport, UK, and the ITA project funded by the US Army Research Laboratory and UK Ministry of Defence during his Ph.D. studies. In 2007, Ivan spent a summer working at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, NY, USA. After his Ph.D. graduation, he was with the System Engineering Initiative at Imperial College as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. In Sept 2010, he co-founded P2 Mobile Technologies Limited at Hong Kong Science Park and served as the Chief R&D Engineer. He primarily invented the MeshRanger series wireless mesh embedded system, which won the Silver Award in Best Ubiquitous Networking at the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2012. His work on indoor positioning and IoT also received a number of awards, including the Gold Medal at the International Trade Fair Ideas and Inventions New Products (iENA) in Germany in 2019, the Gold Medal with the Organizer's Choice Award at the International Invention Innovation Competition in Canada (iCAN) in 2020, and the Gold Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions Geneva in 2021. He serves/has served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, , IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II, and the TPC Co-chair for the PERSIST-IoT Workshop in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2019 and IEEE INFOCOM 2020. His research interests are in wireless communications and networking, specifically in vehicular networks, intelligent transportation systems, Internet of things, and connected autonomous vehicles. He is a Fellow of IET and EAI.
