He serves in advisory boards as head of the mid-term evaluation team for the EU Commission “EU-China Junior Management Training Program”, Bruxelles, Belgium, as member of the DAAD selection group for candidates for “China – Language and Practical Assignment”, Bonn, Germany, as member of the EU Commission selection group “EU-China Junior Management Training Program”, Bruxelles, Belgium, and as key coordinator of three Chinese-German summer schools.
Manfred Gross has been honored by several distinctions and appointments. He has been appointed “Chevalier de l’Ordre Palme Academique” by the state government of France, has been awarded the Helmut-Volz-Medaille of Technical Faculty of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, serves as honorary professor with the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg appointed by the Bavarian state government, is a professor of the Chinese-German University College, Shanghai, China, and advisory professor with Tsinghua University, Beijing, Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Tongji University Shanghai, China.

Prof. Guoyong Shi
Guoyong Shi was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China in 1966. He received the Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, in 1987, the Master of Engineering degree in Electronics and Information Science from Kyoto Institute of Technology in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University in Pullman, USA, in 2002. From 1987 to 1994, he was a faculty member of the Department of Applied Mathematics at Ningbo University in Ningbo, China. Between January and June in 2001 he was a visiting scientist at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherland. From 2002 to 2005 he was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Department of Electrical Engineering at University of Washington in Seattle, USA. He has been a full professor of School of Microelectronics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China since 2006.
He has worked in a number of research areas including Applied Mathematics, Systems Engineering, Automatic Control, and Design Automation of Integrated Circuits. He has published over 50 peer reviewed technical papers in these areas in archival journals and international conferences. He is the author of the textbook “FPGA Circuit Design for Digital Signal Processing” (in Chinese) published by the China High Education Press in 2010. He is currently interested in the research on Design Automation of analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits and systems. He has made significant contributions in symbolic computation methods for integrated circuits modeling and simulation. He was the co-recipient of the Donald O. Pederson Best Paper Award presented by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in 2007 for the paper “On Symbolic Model Order Reduction” published in IEEE Trans. Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (vol. 25, no. 7, pp. 1257-1272, July, 2006). He has been the principle investigator of two research projects funded by the China National Natural Science Foundation. He was a recipient of the Shanghai Pujiang Talent Plan Research Fund awarded by the Shanghai municipal government in 2007.

Prof. Robert Weigel
Robert Weigel was born in Ebermannstadt, Germany, in 1956. He received the Dr.-Ing. and the Dr.-Ing. habil. degrees, both in electrical engineering and computer science, from the Munich University of Technology in Germany, in 1989 and 1992, respectively. From 1982 to 1988, he was a Research Engineer, from 1988 to 1994 a Senior Research Engineer, and from 1994 to 1996 a Professor for RF Circuits and Systems at the Munich University of Technology. In winter 1994/95 he was a Guest Professor for SAW Technology at Vienna University of Technology in Austria. From 1996 to 2002, he has been Director of the Institute for Communications and Information Engineering at the University of Linz, Austria. In August 1999, he co-founded DICE – Danube Integrated Circuit Engineering, Linz, meanwhile an Infineon Technologies Design Center which is devoted to the design of mobile radio circuits and systems. In 2000, he has been appointed a Professor for RF Engineering at the Tongji University in Shanghai, China. Also in 2000, he co-founded the Linz Center of Competence in Mechatronics, meanwhile also a company. Since 2002 he is Head of the Institute for Electronics Engineering at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
He has been engaged in research and development on microwave theory and techniques, integrated optics, high-temperature superconductivity, SAW technology, digital and microwave communication systems, automotive EMC. In these fields, he has published more than 650 papers and given about 300 international presentations. His review work includes international projects and journals. In 2002, he received the German ITG Award, and in 2007 the IEEE Microwave Applications Award.
Prof. Weigel is a Fellow of IEEE, a member of the Institute for Components and Systems of The Electromagnetics Academy, and a member of the German ITG and the Austrian ÖVE. He serves on various editorial boards and has been editor of the Proceedings of the European Microwave Association (EuMA). He has been member of numerous conference steering committees. Currently he serves on several company and organization advisory boards. He is an elected scientific advisor of the German research Foundation DFG.
