Raymond W. Yeung is an information theorist, a professor of information engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the co-director of the Institute of Network Coding.

Career[]

Raymond W. Yeung graduated in 1984, 1985, and 1988 with the BS, MEng, and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Cornell University. In 1988 he joined the AT&T Bell Labs. He is currently Choh-Ming Li Professor of Information Engineering for CUHK since 1991.[2][3]

Raymond W. Yeung's pioneering contributions to network coding laid the groundwork for the discipline. His key work on network coding revolutionized the Information Technology landscape by proving an improvement in transmission rates over traditional routing approaches in communication networks.[4]
