Kaixue Ma is a full professor in the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). He received his B.E. and M.E. degrees from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), China, and Ph.D from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. From 1997 to 2002, he was with the China Academy of Space Technology (Xi'an), where he was Group Leader of millimeter-wave group for space-borne microwave and millimeter-wave (MMW) components and subsystems for satellite payload and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) ground station. From 2005 to 2007, he was with MEDs Technologies as an R&D manager, where he provided design services and product development. From 2007 to 2010, he was with ST Electronics as an R&D manager. From 2010 to 2013, he was a senior research fellow and team leader of radio frequency-integrated circuit (RFIC)/MMW group researching on 60 GHz design at NTU. He is a senior member of IEEE, has filed 13 patents and authored/co-authored over 150 international top-tier refereed journal and conference papers. He received the Best Paper Award in IEEE SOCC2011, IEEK SOC Design Group Award, Chip Design Competition Bronze Award in ISIC2011, and the "Special Mention" Award under Emerging Technologies Category Awards for Singapore's Next Generation WiFi Chipset in 2012 by Singapore Infocomm Technology Federation (SiTF). Prof. Ma has been honored with the National "Thousand Talent Program" Award from China.
