Electrical engineering a crucial enabling technology for electronic television. John Fleming invented the first radio tube, the diode, in 1904. Two years later, Robert von Lieben and Lee De Forest independently developed the amplifier tube, called the triode. In 1920, Albert Hull developed the magnetron which would eventually lead to the development of the microwave oven in 1946 by Percy Spencer. In 1934, the British military began to make strides toward radar (which also uses the magnetron) under the direction of Dr Wimperis, culminating in the operation of the first radar station at Bawdsey in August 1936. In 1941, Konrad Zuse presented
Xiaodong Wang (electrical engineer) Conference. Wang has many research interests, but chooses to focus on the areas of information theory, signal processing, and communications. Furthermore, he has influential published research in the areas of wireless communications, statistical signal processing, parallel and distributed computing, nanoelectronics, and quantum computing. In 2003 he published a book entitled "Wireless Communication Systems: Advanced Techniques for Signal Reception", published by Prentice Hall. Recently he is also working on the emerging field of genomics signal processing and information theoretic genomics.
