Education and career

Dong was born in Beijing in 1976, and writes that she "grew up on the campus of Tsinghua University". [2] She graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree in automation and electrical engineering in 1998. She completed a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering at Cornell University in 2004, [1] after earning a master's degree there in 2003. Her dissertation, Efficient Information Retrieval and Processing in Wireless Communication Systems and Sensor Networks, was supervised by Lang Tong. [2]

She worked for Qualcomm, in San Diego, California, from 2004 to 2008, before joining Ontario Tech University. She also holds a courtesy appointment in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. [1]

Recognition

Dong was named an IEEE Fellow, in the 2024 class of fellows, "for contributions to transmission design and resource optimization for wireless communications". [3]
