Nei Kato

Nei Kato received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Tohoku University, Japan, in 1988 and 1991, respectively. He has been working with Tohoku University since then and is currently a Full Professor at the Graduate School of Information Sciences. He has been engaged in research on computer networking, wireless mobile communications, image processing, and neural networks. He has published more than 100 papers in journals and peer-reviewed conference proceedings. Nei Kato has served as a symposium cochair at GLOBECOM 2007, and TPC Member on a large number of IEEE international conferences, including ICC, GLOBECOM, WCNC, and HPSR. He was a Co-Guest-Editor for JCN special issue on Broadband convergence Network (BcN) in 2005. From 2006, he is a technical editor of IEEE Wireless Communications. He is a corecipient of the 2005 Distinguished Contributions to Satellite Communications Award from the IEEE Communications Society, Satellite and Space Communications Technical Committee, and the corecipient of FUNAI information Science Award, 2007. Nei Kato is a Member of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) and a Senior Member of IEEE.
