From 1981 and 1983, he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University, where he became an assistant professor. From 1983 to 2014, he was a professor of Electrical Engineering at University of Washington, where he acted as a department chair from 2006 to 2011. In January 2015, he joined University of Michigan as a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.[2][3]
Tsang is a fellow member of IEEE and Optica. He was the president of IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society from 2006 to 2007; previously, he served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, sponsored by the same society.[3] In 2020, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for "contributions in wave scattering and microwave remote sensing theories for satellite missions."[4][5]
