About Teresa

Teresa H. Meng is the Reid Weaver Dennis Professor of Electrical Engineering and Professor of Computer Science, Emerita, at Stanford University School of Engineering. She received her B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University in 1983, M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from the University of California, Berkeley in 1985, and Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley in 1988. Joining the Stanford faculty shortly after her doctorate, her initial research focused on low-power circuit and system design, video signal processing, and wireless communications. In 1998, she took a leave of absence from Stanford to co-found Atheros Communications, Inc., where she served as Chief Technology Officer and later Director until 2011. Atheros pioneered all-CMOS Wi-Fi semiconductor solutions, enabling widespread adoption of high-performance wireless networking technologies. Meng returned to Stanford in 2000, redirecting her research toward biomedical applications of signal processing and integrated circuit design. This included neural signal processing and prosthetic systems developed in collaboration with Professor Krishna Shenoy, as well as wireless power transfer techniques for implantable biomedical devices. She retired from active faculty duties in 2013 but continues as Emerita.
