Hsi-Pin Ma received the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, Taiwan, in 1995 and 2002. At the summer of 2000, he interned at Siemens Telecommunication Systems Limited, for feasibility study and establishment of a dual-mode base station for WCDMA and cdma2000. Since 2003, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering/Institute of Communications Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, where he is currently as Associate Professor.
Dr. Ma’s research interests include communications system design and SoC implementation, power efficient/energy efficient signal processing, and biomedical signal processing and system applications. He was the PI of three NSoC national programs (WCDMA/HSDPA, WiMAX, DVB-T/H), one Telecom. National program (Development of a MIMO-OFDM advanced platform), two MOEA projects (Wireless Testing/HOY, Low Power Cell Library/Starfish DSP) and many industry collaboration projects from Intel, MediaTek, Skymedi and ITRI. Recently, he has several NSC projects (PI/Co-PI) related to biomedical circuits and systems applications, including “Development of integrated electrophysiology instruments for basic research and biomedical uses”, NPIE project “Patient-centric medical environment”, NTHU-UC collaboration project “Molecular neuroscience: from basic research to translational development”, and Taiwan-France collaboration project (TecSan) “Innovating technology to characterize balance loss in ecological setting of daily life: application to Parkinson' s disease (ECOTECH)”.
Dr. Ma has published 12 journal, 58 conferences papers, and 4 US patents and other international patents. He also participated in IEEE 802.16m standard contributions with ITRI and has submitted 15 contributions. He also has three cases of technology transfer to the industries.
