Prof. Ross Murch is a Chair Professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering (ECE) and an IAS Fellow in the Institute of Advanced Study both at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). His research focus is creating new RF wave technology for making a better world. His unique expertise lies in his combination of knowledge from both electromagnetics and wireless communication systems and he has published widely in both areas. For example he has 50+ journal papers in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 40 journal papers in IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and 10 journal papers in IEEE Transactions in Microwave Theory and Techniques with over 200 journal paper publications in total that have attracted over 20,000 citations (Google scholar). He has successfully supervised over 50 research graduate students, enjoys teaching and has won several teaching awards.
Prof. Murch became an IEEE Fellow for his “Contributions to Multiple Antenna Systems for Wireless Communication” in 2010. He is also a Fellow of IET, HKAES, HKIE and in 2023 he was awarded the IEEE Communications Society Wireless Technical Committee Recognition Award. He has been an Area Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and Editor for IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communication: Wireless series (the precursor to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications). He has also been a guest editor for IEEE Proceedings and IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in communication.
Prof. Murch has served IEEE in several roles and has been Department Head of ECE@HKUST from 2009-2015. He has been a David Bensted Fellow, Simon Fraser University, Canada, an HKTIIT fellow at Southampton University, UK and has spent sabbaticals at MIT, USA; AT&T, USA; Allgon Mobile Communications, Sweden; Imperial College London.
Prof. Murch joined HKUST in 1992 as an Assistant Professor and has remained at HKUST in Hong Kong since then, where he is now a Chair Professor. From 1990-1992 he was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Dundee, UK. He received his BE and PhD degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
