Biography

Zi-Tsan Chou received the Ph.D. degree in computer science and information engineering from National Taiwan University, Taipei, July 2003. From Oct. 2003 to Jan. 2008, during the period of time served in the military, he joined Institute for Information Industry and worked as a section manager and senior engineer. His industrial experiences also include NEC Research Institute (1997) and Telecordia Applied Research Center (2005). Before the end of compulsory military service, he received the Top-25 Outstanding Civil Servants Award (acceptance ratio < 0.18%) from the Ministry of National Defense due to his contributions on patents. In particular, one of his eight granted U.S. patents (patent number 7,418,004) about WiFi power saving has become part of the official IEEE 802.11n standard.

In Feb. 2008, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU) as an Assistant Professor; in Feb. 2014, he was promoted as an Associate Professor. His research interests include medium access control, power management, and quality-of-service control for wireless networks. During the time in NSYSU, 65 percent of his courses were evaluated as Excellent and 60 percent of his research papers were published in the journals of IEEE Transactions, which have the highest level of impact on the field of computer science and engineering.
