Summary
Haiwen Cao is a researcher at Huawei’s Theory Lab in Hong Kong with nine years of experience bridging information theory and practical communications engineering. He holds a Ph.D. from CUHK and a strong undergraduate pedigree from Harbin Institute of Technology, and his early work focused on modern channel coding (LDPC, polar, and sparse regression codes) with tangible outcomes including publications and a patent. Recently he has pivoted toward data compression, quantization, image processing, and information retrieval, applying theoretical rigor to applied problems. Comfortable in both academic and industrial research settings, he has taught and TA’d advanced math and coding courses and contributed to collaborative projects at CUHK and HKRC. Known for pairing deep theoretical insight with hands-on implementation, he excels at turning abstract coding and graphical-model ideas into deployable algorithms.
