Professor Luc Vandendorpe

Short biography

Luc Vandendorpe was born in Mouscron, Belgium in 1962. He received the Electrical Engineering degree (summa cum laude) and the Ph. D. degree from the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium in 1985 and 1991 respectively. Since 1985, L. Vandendorpe is with the Communications and Remote Sensing Laboratory of UCL where he first worked in the field of bit rate reduction techniques for video coding. From March 1992 to August 1992, he was a Visiting Scientist and Research Fellow at the Telecommunications and Traffic Control Systems Group of the Delft Technical University, The Netherlands, where he worked on Spread Spectrum Techniques for Personal Communications Systems. From October 1992 to August 1997, L. Vandendorpe was Senior Research Associate of the Belgian NSF at UCL, and invited assistant professor. Presently he is Professor. He is the Belgian Delegate to COST 273 and 289. He is mainly interested in digital communication systems : equalization, joint detection/synchronization for CDMA, OFDM (multicarrier), MIMO and turbo-based communications systems (UMTS, xDSL, WLAN, etc.) and joint source/channel (de)coding.

In 1990, he was co-recipient of the Biennal Alcatel-Bell Award from the Belgian NSF for a contribution in the field of image coding. In 2000 he was co-recipient (with J. Louveaux and F. Deryck) of the Biennal Siemens Award from the Belgian NSF for a contribution about filter bank based multicarrier transmission. In 2004 he was co-winner (with J. Czyz) of the Face Authentication Competition, FAC 2004. L. Vandendorpe is or has been TPC member for IEEE VTC Fall 1999, IEEE Globecom 2003 Communications Theory Symposium, the 2003 Turbo Symposium, IEEE VTC Fall 2003, and IEEE SPAWC 2005. He is co-technical chair (with P. Duhamel) for IEEE ICASSP 2006.

He is associate editor of the IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications, associate editor of the IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing and a member of the Signal Processing Committee for Communications. He was an editor of the IEEE Trans. on Communications for Synchronisation and Equalization between 2000 and 2002, and chair of the IEEE Benelux joint chapter on Communications and Vehicular Technology between 1999 and 2003. He is an IEEE Fellow.
