Brief Biography:
Yik-Chung Wu received the
B.Eng. (EEE) degree in 1998 and the M.Phil. degree in 2001 from the University
of Hong Kong (HKU). He received the Croucher Foundation scholarship in
2002 to study Ph.D. degree at Texas A&M University, College Station, and
graduated in 2005. From August 2005 to August 2006, he was with the

Since September 2006, he has been with HKU, currently as an Associate
Professor. He was a visiting scholar at Princeton University, in summers
of 2015 and 2017.
His research interests are in
general areas of machine learning, signal processing and communication
systems, and in particular distributed algorithms, and large-scale
optimization theories. Dr. Wu served as an Editor
for IEEE Communications Letters, and IEEE Transactions on
Communications, and is currently an Editor for Journal of
Communications and Networks. He was a TPC member for over 50 IEEE major
conferences. He received four best paper awards in

To prospective students: I am actively recruiting Ph.D. students for topics on
machine learning, signal processing, and communications. I am looking for
students who are self-motivated, with background in one or more of the following
areas: mathematics, statisics, physics, machine
learning or signal processing. Due to the large amount of requesting
email, I can only reply to students who can articulate their suitability in my
group. Thank you very much for your interest.

Social Service:
In Aug 2009, I led a group of EEE
students to Deyang, a rural village in Sichuan, to
install an E-learning laboratory for a reconstructed primary school. The
original primary school building was destructed by the devastating earthquake
on 12 May 2008. This is a collaborative project by engineering professionals
and charity organizations from Hong Kong. The project rebuilt the whole
teaching building from ground up, equipping it with quake-proof design, and
up-to-date teaching technologies.
