Education summary
I
studied at Kiangsu-Chekiang
Primary School and Kindergarten (1973-1981), a Hong
Kong local school that uses Mandarin as the primary
teaching language.
After
finishing my primary education, I attended TWGHs Lee
Ching Dea Memorial College (1981-1984). To further
my secondary studies, I went at Victoria
College,( Jersey,
Channel Islands, Great Britain) from 1984-1988, where
I did 10 General Certificate of Examinations (GCE) O-levels
and 6 A-levels. I was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal

I
lived in Cambridge,
England from October 1988 to January 1997; I studied
at Trinity
College, Cambridge
University to read Electrical and Information Science
at the Department
of Engineering. I obtained a BA (Hon.) degree in
1991 and MA in 1994. Soon after I graduated in 1991,
I worked till Aug 93 as a system development engineer
at a Cambridge based company called
CEDAR Audio Ltd. It specializes in restoring degraded
audio signal, the company has a close relationship with
the dept. of engineering (CEDAR stands for Computer
Enhanced Digital Audio Restoration). I started my Ph.D.
studies in October 1993 with the Signal
Processing and Communications Lab., Department
of Engineering, Cambridge
University,, under the supervision of Prof. Peter
Rayner, the funding was kindly provided by
the Croucher Foundation. My main research interest
was Blind
Signal Separation, which involves separating signals
from mixed observed data only, for examples, separating
voices from speakers who are speaking simultaneously.
I had been an active member of the Cambridge
University Chinese society (CUCS), I was elected
as the president of CUCS for 1990-1991. I used to teach
at the Cambridge Chinese Community School every Sunday.
I have always wanted to learn to speak more languages,
during Jan-Apr 2006, Irene and I decided to do a 3-month
full time French
language course in France, spending 6 weeks in Antibes,
South of France and 6 weeks in Paris.
