Tai Fei received the B.Eng. degree in telecommunication engineering from Shanghai Maritime University, Shanghai, China, in July 2005 and the Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.) degrees in electrical engineering and information technology from Technische Universität Darmstadt (Darmstadt University of Technology), Darmstadt, Germany, in June 2009, respectively. His Diploma thesis addressed the problem of discriminating Non-line-of-sight noise from Line-of-sight noise by means of several different detection methods.

From September 2009 to December 2012, Tai Fei worked as a research associate with the Institute of Water-Acoustics, Sonar-Engineering and Signal-Theory (IWSS) at the Hochschule Bremen (City University of Applied Sciences), Bremen, Germany, in collaboration with the Signal Processing Group (SPG) at Technische Universität Darmstadt (Darmstadt University of Technology), Darmstadt, Germany. He received his Dr.-Ing. (Ph.D) degree in the field of image processing for automatic target recognition systems from Technische Universität Darmstadt.

From August 2013 to February 2014 he worked as a research associate with Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (MARUM) at Universität Bremen (University of Bremen), Bremen, Germany, where his job in the sonar signal processing supported the exploring of underwater methane gas bubbles.

Since March 2014, he is working as a development engineer at Hella KGaA Hueck & Co., Lippstadt, Germany, where he is mainly responsible for the development of reliable signal processing algorithms for automotive radar systems.
