Long Citation
K. Max Wong is a leader in signal processing. His research ranges from fundamental theory and algorithms to applications and designs of signal processors in communication, radar, and sonar systems. His work brought high resolution array processing methods into practical use in non-ideal environments. He pioneered applications of convex optimization to signal processing and solved design problems in line and wireless communications previously considered impossible. Author of over 200 technical papers, his inventions include the transmultiplexer and the wavelet echo canceller used in daily telephone systems while his algorithms in target detection and estimation are implemented in our defence systems.
