Qi Bi

Qi Bi received his M.S. degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Ph.D. degree from Pennsylvania State University. After teaching at Utah State University for one year, he joined Bell labs as a Member of Technical Staff in 1988. In 1995, he became a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff and two years later, he was promoted to Technical Manager. Dr. Bi is a recognized expert in wireless communications. He received Awards of Excellence from AT&T in 1996 and 1997, and received Bell Labs President’s Gold Awards in 2000 and 2002. Under his leadership, his team awarded the Bell Labs Innovation Team Award in 2003. In 2004, he received the Speaker of the Year Award from the IEEE New Jersey Coast Section. Based on his pioneering contributions in wireless communications, he broke new ground in 2003 by becoming the first Chinese from mainland China since 1949 to receive the prestigious Bell Laboratories Fellow Award. In 2004, he was awarded the Asian American Engineer of the Year Award during Engineers Week in the USA. Dr. Bi is also dedicated to international and social activities. From 1998 to 1999, he served as the Technical Chair for the Wireless Mobile ATM Conference. From 1999 to 2000, he organized the first and the second CDMA conferences at Lucent. From 2000 to 2002, he served as the Technical Chair for IEEE Globecom’s wireless program. In 2003, he served as the Technical Chair for the IEEE WCNC Conference. In 2005 and 2006, he served as the Chair and organizer for the WOCC Conference. In 2006, he served as the Head of a US delegation with a group of telecommunication experts in a culture and technology exchange program between the USA and China. Dr. Bi has published extensively and has served as editor in many publications. He was a frequent invited keynote speaker and has filed more than 60 US patents. He was also the New York chapter president of the Alumni Association of the Chiao Tung University from 2002 to 2006. He has been listed in Who’s Who since 2003.
