Dr. Shanbao Tong received the B.S. degree in radio technology from Xi'an Jiao Tong University (Xi'an, China) in 1995, and M.S. degree in turbine machine engineering and Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1998 and 2002 respectively. From 2000-2001, he was a research trainee in Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. From 2002-2005, he had postdoctoral training in Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. His Ph.D. dissertation was on EEG signal processing in brain injury following cardiac arrest, and was awarded the top 100 distinguished Ph.D. dissertations of China (2004). Dr. Tong joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University as associate professor in 2005 and has been full professor since 2009. He established the neural engineering laboratory. His research interests include multimodal neuroimaging techniques and brain rehabilitation, and transcranial ultrasound stimulation.

Dr. Tong is the founding chair of the IEEE EMBS Shanghai chapter which was awarded the Best New Chapter of IEEE EMBS (2013). He is also the founding chair of the IEEE EMBS international summer school of neural engineering. Dr. Tong was the associate editori of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering. He is now an active Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, Deputy Editor of Medical & Biological Engineering & Computation, board member of the Chinese society of neural engineering and the Chinese society for bioelectronics.  He has served many IEEE EMBS conferences as session chair or co-chair (EMBC since 2005), international program committee (NER'13) or organization committee (NER'15), the conference chair of the 2017 IEEE EMBS international conference of neural engineering(NER'17)
