Prof. Jérôme Louveaux

Short biography

Jérôme Louveaux was born in Leuven, Belgium, in 1974. He received the electrical engineering degree and the Ph. D. degree from the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium in 1996 and 2000 respectively.

From 2000 to 2001, he was a visiting scholar in the Electrical Engineering department at Stanford University. From 2004 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Delft University of technology, Netherlands. Since 2006, he is Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Dept at UCL. 

His research interests are in signal processing for digital communications, and in particular:  xDSL systems, resource allocation, synchronization, estimation, and multicarrier modulation. Prof. Jérôme  Louveaux serves as associate editor for the IEEE Communications Letters since 2003. He is co-recipient of the ``Prix biennal Siemens 2000'' for a contribution on filter-bank based multi-carrier transmission and co-recipient of the the ``Prix Scientifique Alcatel 2005'' for a contribution in the field of powerline communications.

Research activities

• DSL systems: We investigate several techniques to reduce the effect of crosstalk in DSL systems, and the associated signal processing necessary to implement these techniques. In particular, we focus on dynamic power spectrum management and crosstalk estimation algorithms.
• FBMC: We are interested in filterbank-based multicarrier mudulations and its applicability in various communications systems. Among others, we study equalization structures and synchronization algorithms specific to this type of modulation.

There are several openings available for Ph.D. in these topics. See Job Openings
