She is a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhen it was founded in 1948 as the Professional Group on Audio of the Institute of Radio Engineers \u0026mdash; IEEE\u0026rsquo;s first society \u0026mdash; the discipline of signal processing didn\u0026rsquo;t exist. Over the next few decades, this group evolved to become known as the IEEE Signal Processing Society, which now has more than 19,000 members through 170 chapters worldwide.\u0026nbsp;The purpose of the SPS is to advance and disseminate state-of-the-art scientific information and resources; educate the signal processing community; and provide a venue for people to interact and exchange ideas.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMa has actively served the IEEE and the SPS as an editor and a conference organizer for the past 20 years. She has worked on different technical committees for IEEE SPS and was a technical representative of the IEEE Signal Processing Regional Committee (Regions 1-6). Ma was presented with the Outstanding Service Award for her work as the local arrangements chair for the 2013 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing, which is a flagship conference of the SPS. She was elevated to the rank of IEEE Fellow in 2016.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMa has been on the ECE faculty since 2006.\u0026nbsp;Her research spans many different areas of signal processing and wireless communications, ranging from information theory to FPGA hardware implementation, which includes network performance analysis, transceiver designs for wireless time- and frequency-selective channels, Internet of Things, and performance analysis for blockchains.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMa was a co-director for the Georgia Tech Center of Excellence on UWB Technology (2012-2015) and a co-founder for a start-up company, Ratrix Technologies, LLC that\u0026nbsp;develops revolutionary technology to maximize data throughput and spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems. She has published one book, three book chapters, 110 journal papers, and more than 170 peer-reviewed conference papers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Professor\u0026nbsp;Xiaoli Ma has been elected to the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Board of Governors in the capacity of Member-at-Large for the 2022-2024 term.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Professor\u00a0Xiaoli Ma has been elected to the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Board of Governors in the capacity of Member-at-Large for the 2022-2024 term."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2021-11-15 15:48:02","changed_gmt":"2021-11-15 15:48:02","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2021-11-15T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2021-11-15T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"486911":{"id":"486911","type":"image","title":"Xiaoli Ma","body":null,"created":"1452902401","gmt_created":"2016-01-16 00:00:01","changed":"1475895242","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:54:02","alt":"Xiaoli Ma","file":{"fid":"204344","name":"xiaolima131023ar620_web.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/xiaolima131023ar620_web_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/xiaolima131023ar620_web_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1219892,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/xiaolima131023ar620_web_0.jpg?itok=9nlb29FZ"}}},"media_ids":["486911"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/faculty-staff-directory\/xiaoli-ma","title":"Xiaoli Ma"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"https:\/\/signalprocessingsociety.org","title":"IEEE Signal Processing Society "}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"}],"keywords":[{"id":"418","name":"Xiaoli Ma"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"177270","name":"IEEE Signal Processing Society"},{"id":"1187","name":"IEEE"},{"id":"169432","name":"signal processing"},{"id":"173153","name":"wireless communications"},{"id":"175215","name":"information theory"},{"id":"189356","name":"FPGA hardware"},{"id":"189357","name":"network performance analysis"},{"id":"68951","name":"Internet of Things"},{"id":"174642","name":"blockchains"},{"id":"189358","name":"Georgia Tech Center of Excellence on UWB Technology"},{"id":"189359","name":"Ratrix Technologies"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39431","name":"Data Engineering and Science"},{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
