DR. HEN-GEUL (HENRY) YEH
Dr. Hen-Geul (Henry) Yeh joined the CSULB Electrical Engineering Department in 1983. In 1986, he became a professor and founded the Neural Networks and multidisciplinary digital signal processing (DSP) laboratory, of which he has been the director ever since. He served as Department Chair from 2016-22. Yeh holds a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and MS in mechanical engineering from University of California Irvine.
His research has focused on Machine Learning, Digital Signal Processing, Communications, Control algorithms development, and implementation using field-programmable gate arrays and DSP with applications to communication systems, smart grids, optimization, controls, and electrical faulty event detection. His areas of expertise are Machine Learning, real-time DSP, Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX, adaptive systems, and mobile communication in multipath fading channels. In research, Dr. Yeh has more than 190 technical publications, holds nine U.S. patents and applications, and is a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). He received the Best Paper Award of IEEE Int. Systems Conference: Adaptive Model Selection for Electrical Fault Detection using Reinforcement Learning, 4/2025; the Best Paper Award of IGESSC: Achievable Capacity of Multi-Polarization MIMO toward 6G Wireless Communications, 11/2019; the Best Paper Award, Special Session: Aerospace Systems Engineering, IEEE Int. Systems Conference: Multi Base Stations to Multi Mobile Units: Green Communication Systems via A Wavefront Multiplexing Technique, 4/2019. He also received the Aerospace Corp. Inventor's Award in 2002, and five NASA Jet Propulsion Lab awards from 1987 to 1996, respectively.
He has served as the founder of IEEE Green Energy and Smart Systems Conference (IGESSC) since 2010 and served as the organizer and conference chair of IGESSC from 2010 - 2022. Among his many recognitions are the Chapter of the Year Award, Systems Council Coastal Los Angeles Section 2023, IEEE Systems Council; IEEE Region6, Outstanding Engineering Educator Award 2019; IEEE Region 6, Outstanding Large Student Branch Award for Recruiting and Inspiration the Newest Generation of EE Students Through Exciting Technical Programs 2018; the Outstanding Professor Award 2015; the Distinguished Faculty Scholarly and Creative Achievement Award 2009; the CSULB Northrop Grumman Excellence in Teaching Award 2007; and he was selected as a Boeing Welliver Faculty Fellow in 2006, and NASA Jet Propulsion Lab Summer Faculty Fellow in 1992 and 2003, respectively. Dr. Yeh has consulted for JPL, Texas Instruments, the Aerospace Corp., AT&T, and others. He is a senior IEEE member and a professional engineer in electrical engineering.
