Hola, i benvinguts.
(Hello, and welcome).
I am a Professor in the Department of Information & Communication Technologies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona, Spain.
I received my Ph.D. in 1998 from Stanford University. Between 1999 and 2008, I was a researcher at Bell Labs (Alcatel-Lucent) in Holmdel, USA. Since 2005, I was also an Adj. Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University.
I am an elected member of the Board-of-Governors of the IEEE Communications Society and an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory.
My research interests lie at the crossroads of communication theory, wireless communication, and signal processing. A focal point of my work has been MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication, at both the fundamental and practical levels. In addition to MIMO, I have conducted research on dynamic resource allocation, interference management, link adaptation, equalization, channel estimation, ARQ, and multicasting, among other themes.
Check out the paper "Is the PHY Layer Dead?", co-authored with Mischa Dohler, Robert Heath, Constantinos Papadias and Reinaldo Valenzuela. A top download in IEEE Xplore since its publication in April 2011!
I currently participate in the Consolider Project Foundations and Methodologies for Future Communication and Sensor Networks (COMONSENS), a 5-year 3.5-Million-Euro effort involving 10 research institutions within Spain, as well as other national and European projects including HIATUS.
I teach courses on various communication topics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. My graduate teaching takes place under the framework of the Master in Advanced Sciences in Modern Telecommunications offered jointly by UPF and by Universitat de Valencia.
