Profile

Jingdong Chen received his bachelor's degree in 1993, master's degree in 1995, and doctoral degree in 1998 from Northwestern Polytechnical University and the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, respectively. From 1998 to 1999, he was sponsored by the Japan High-Tech Center to conduct research on speech analysis and synthesis at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (Kyoto, Japan). From 1999 to 2000, he conducted research on signal processing, feature extraction, pattern recognition, and speech recognition at Griffith University (Brisbane, Australia). From 2000 to 2001, he conducted research on speech enhancement and speech recognition at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (Kyoto, Japan). From 2001 to 2009, he conducted research and development in adaptive signal processing, array and MIMO signal processing, speech signal processing and communication, and wireless communications at Bell Labs (New Jersey, USA). From 2009 to 2010, he worked at WeVoice Inc. (New Jersey, USA) on the development of microphone arrays, nano-sensing, and acoustic signal processing. In 2010, he was selected as a National Distinguished Expert. In 2014, he received the funding from the "Young Science Fund Project (Category A)". In 2021, he was elected as an IEEE Fellow. His research primarily focuses on signal/information processing, speech communication, array and MIMO signal processing, active noise control, pattern recognition, acoustic sensing, and intelligent speech interaction. Some of the technologies he has developed have been successfully applied in systems such as smartphones, wireless communications, conference calls, remote collaboration, medical devices, astronaut suit communication, and in-vehicle intelligent interaction. He received the IEEE Signal Processing Society Best Paper Award in 2009, the NASA Technical Innovation Award in 2009 and 2010, the Bell Labs Model Team Award in 2007 and 2009, and the IEEE WASPAA International Conference Best Paper Award in 2011. He has published 16 monographs, including: Microphone Array Signal Processing, Acoustic MIMO Signal Processing, Speech Enhancement, Design of Circular Differential Microphone Arrays, Study and Design of Differential Microphone Arrays, etc. He has published over 300 papers in prestigious international journals and conferences in the field of signal processing, with more than 20,000 citations. He holds over 60 invention patents granted in the United States, Japan, and China.
