Jun Tao received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the Department of Radio Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 2001 and 2004, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA, in 2010. From 2004 to 2006, he was a System Design Engineer with Realsil Microelectronics, Inc. (a subsidiary of Realtek), Suzhou, China. From 2011 to 2015, he was a Senior System Engineer with Qualcomm, Inc., Boulder, CO, USA, working on the baseband algorithm and architecture design for the UMTS/LTE modem. He won the Qualcomm Qualstar Diamond Award in 2013 for exceptional effort and execution in the development and verification of the UMTS modem in Trahira. Since April 2016, he has been with the School of Information Science and Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China, as a full professor. His research interests lie in the general areas of wireless cellular communications, underwater acoustic communications, and localization and tracking, including channel modeling and estimation, turbo equalization, adaptive filtering, Bayesian inference, and machine learning. He has made pioneering contributions to turbo detection for underwater acoustic communications, and his research work has been recommended by the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (OES).
