David Tse (Chinese:謝雅正;pinyin:Xiè Yǎzhèng) is the Thomas Kailath and Guanghan Xu Professor of Engineering atStanford University.[1]
Tse earned a B.S. in systems design engineering fromUniversity of Waterloo in 1989, an M.S. in electrical engineering from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1994.[2] As a postdoctoral student he was a staff member atAT&T Bell Laboratories.[2]
Tse's research at Stanford focuses oninformation theory and its applications in fields such aswireless communication,machine learning, energy andcomputational biology.[3][4] He has designed assembly software to handle DNA and RNA sequencing data and was an inventor of the proportional-fair scheduling algorithm for cellular wireless systems.[4] He received the 2017Claude E. Shannon Award.[3] In 2018, he was elected to theNational Academy of Engineering.[4]
