Eric has 22 years of experience as a researcher, wireless architect, engineer, and inventor. He has played a key role in developing wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.15.4, and LoRa/LoRaWAN), system designs, feature roadmaps, and product development at Amazon, Meta, Apple, Mimosa Networks, Broadcom, and Cisco. He has led firmware teams in building complex software features, designing testbeds, and establishing methodologies for product performance benchmarking and testing.

Throughout his career, Eric has navigated multiple product life cycles, driving innovations in protocols, algorithms, wireless architectures, and system solutions. His contributions span products such as Broadcom Wi-Fi chips, Apple devices, Amazon Sidewalk, Amazon Just Walk Out (JWO), Mimosa Network’s point-to-point fixed wireless solutions, and Cisco mobile application gateways.

Eric has been actively involved in industry standards development, serving as the MAC co-chair for the IEEE 802.11ax working group and leading Apple’s IEEE 802.11ax efforts. He has contributed key mandatory MAC features to the IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) and IEEE 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) standards. He is also a Senior Member of IEEE.

Eric holds a Ph.D. from the University of California San Diego, a Master of Engineering from Cornell University, and a Bachelor of Engineering from the National University of Singapore, all specializing in wireless networking and communications. He is a named inventor on over 50 U.S. and international patents.
