Reid Weaver Dennis Professor in Electrical Engineering, Emerita

Brief Biography

Teresa H. Meng is the Reid Weaver Dennis Professor of Electrical Engineering, Emerita, at Stanford University. Her research activities during the first 10 years at Stanford focused on low-power circuit and system design, video signal processing, and wireless communications. In 1998, Prof. Meng took leave from Stanford and founded Atheros Communications, Inc., which developed semiconductor system solutions for wireless network communications products. After returning to Stanford in 2000 to continue her teaching and research, Prof. Meng turned her research interest to applying signal processing and IC design to bio-medical engineering. She collaborated with Prof. Krishna Shenoy on neural signal processing and neural prosthetic systems. She also directed a research group exploring wireless power transfer and implantable bio-medical devices. Prof. Meng retired from Stanford in 2013.

Dr. Meng has received many awards and honors, most recently the 2019 IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal and the 2018 ACM SIGMOBILE Outstanding Contribution Award. Her other award include the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Berkeley EECS Department and the National Taiwan University in 2010, the 2009 IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award, the DEMO Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009, the McKnight Technological Innovations in Neurosciences Award in 2007, the Distinguished Lecturer Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society in 2004, the Bosch Faculty Scholar Award in 2003, the Innovator of the Year Award by MIT Sloan School eBA in 2002, the CIO 20/20 Vision Award in 2002, named one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurs by Red Herring in 2001, a Best Paper Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society, an NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award, an ONR Young Investigator Award, and an IBM Faculty Development Award, all in 1989, and the Eli Jury Award from U.C. Berkeley in 1988.

Dr. Meng is the author of one book, several book chapters, and over 200 technical articles in journals and conferences. Dr. Meng is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. She is also a member of the Academia Sinica of Taiwan. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in EECS from the University of California at Berkeley and her B.S. from National Taiwan University.
