Dr Tsang was born and raised in Hong Kong.
He received his BSc degree in mathematics and physics from the University of Winnipeg
in Canada.
He then obtained his BEng and MASc degrees both in electrical engineering from
the Technical University of Nova Scotia in Canada.
He also received his PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
Upon the completion of his PhD degree, he joined the Department of
Mathematics, Statistics and Computing Science, Dalhousie
University, where he was an Assistant Professor in the Computing Science
Division. While he was in Canada,
he also registered as a Professional Engineer
in the province of Nova Scotia. Dr Tsang has taught many courses in
computer science and electrical engineering, and published actively in
scientific journals. His current research interests include congestion controls
in Internet, P2P video streaming applications, wireless multimedia networks and
cognitive radio networks.
He was the General Chair of the IFIP Broadband Communications'99 held in Hong Kong. He also received the Outstanding Paper from
Academe Award at the IEEE ATM Workshop'99. He served as Associate Editor for
the Journal of Optical Networking
published by the Optical Society of America
and the Guest Editor for the IEEE Journal
of Selected Areas in Communications special issue on Advances in P2P Streaming
Systems. He is currently an Associate Technical Editor for the IEEE Communications Magazine. He
also served as Technical Program Committee (TPC) members of ITC18-20, ACM
Multimedia 2002, ICON2002, Opticomm2002, ICC 2006 and INFOCOM 1994-96 and

2009. He has been an IEEE Senior Member
since May 2000.
During his leave from HKUST in 2000-2001, Dr. Tsang assumed the role of
Principal Architect at Sycamore Networks
in the United States.
He was responsible for the network architecture design of Ethernet MAN/WAN over
SONET/DWDM networks. He also contributed to the 64B/65B encoding proposal for
Transparent GFP in the T1X1.5 standard which was advanced to become the ITU G.GFP
standard. The coding scheme has now been
adopted by International Telecommunication Union (ITU)’s Generic Framing
Procedure recommendation GFP-T (ITU-T G.7041/Y.1303)).
