Biography:

Helmut Bölcskei was born in Mödling, Austria on May 29, 1970, and received the Dipl.-Ing. and Dr. techn. degrees in electrical engineering from Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, Austria, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. In 1998 he was with Vienna University of Technology. From 1999 to 2001 he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Information Systems Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering, and in the Department of Statistics, Stanford University, Stanford, CA. He was in the founding team of Iospan Wireless Inc., a Silicon Valley-based startup company (acquired by Intel Corporation in 2002) specialized in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless systems for high-speed Internet access. From 2001 to 2002 he was an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has been with ETH Zurich since 2002, where he is Professor of Communication Theory. He was a visiting researcher at Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven, The Netherlands, ENST Paris, France, and the Heinrich Hertz Institute Berlin, Germany. His research interests are in information theory, harmonic analysis, and signal processing.

He received the 2001 IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award, the 2006 IEEE Communications Society Leonard G. Abraham Best Paper Award, the ETH "Golden Owl" Teaching Award, is a Fellow of the IEEE, and was an Erwin Schrödinger Fellow of the Austrian National Science Foundation. He was a plenary speaker at several IEEE conferences and served as an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and the EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing. He is currently on the editorial board of "Foundations and Trends in Networking", serves as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, and was TPC co-chair of the 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory.
