Ernest S. Lo is the Chief Representative of the Hong Kong Branch of the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC) in Barcelona, mainly responsible for branch setup and strategic planning. Prior to joining CTTC, he was a Croucher Postdoc Fellow at Stanford University and received his Ph.D., M.Phil. and B.Eng. (1st Hons., GGA: A) from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His current research interests cover new design opportunities for existing and future wireless multiuser networks for enhancement of flexibility and spectral & energy efficiencies. Previous work of him involved resource allocation, channel coding and wireless system-level design. He contributed to the standardization of the IEEE 802.22 cognitive radio WRAN system and holds several pending and granted US and China patents with some of them successfully transferred to companies.
Apart from his R&D career, he had been involved in various startup projects and pursuit of other interests.
