Dr. A. A. (Louis) Beex |
Biography:
A. A. (Louis) Beex received the Ingenieur degree from Technical University Eindhoven, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, in 1974, and the Ph.D. degree from Colorado State University, Fort Collins CO, in 1979; both in Electrical Engineering.
From 1976 to 1978 he was at Starkey Labs. Inc., Minneapolis MN, as a Staff Research Engineer, working on applications of digital signal processing for the design of advanced hearing instruments, and for their automated evaluation. Since 1979 he has been on the faculty at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg VA, currently as Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Digital Signal Processing Research Laboratory (DSPRL) http://www.ee.vt.edu/~dsprl/. During August 1988 he was a Visiting Professor of Electrical Engineering at Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, P.R. China, during November 1999 he was a Visiting Scholar (QUE program) at Institut Teknologi Bandung, Bandung, Indonesia, and during January 2003 he was a Visiting Professor at Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Sriperumbudur, India. During Fall 2001 he was a National Research Council Senior Research Associate at SSC, San Diego, CA, working on non-linear and time-varying aspects of adaptive filtering.
He has taught short courses in Digital Signal Processing Theory & Applications at Engineering Research Associates and the Central Intelligence Agency, both in the Washington DC area. He was a Consultant to American Electric Power, on DSP-oriented power measurements of under-sampled signals containing harmonics, to Shenandoah Electronic Intelligence Inc., on adaptive channel equalization, to Digital System Resources, on DSP related review, to TTC-TPI, on AGC analysis, to Control Dynamics Inc, on the analysis of nonlinear dynamic behavior of filter weights for the control of nonlinear antenna arrays, and to Prime Photonics LC, on signal analysis and decomposition.
Prof. Beex is a Senior Member of IEEE, and Past Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing. He serves as a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing; Circuits and Systems; Aerospace and Electronic Systems; Automatic Control and IEE Proceedings on Radar, Sonar and Navigation and the European Journal Signal Processing, among others.
Research Areas:
His research interests lie in stochastic, digital, and adaptive signal processing; such as, more specifically: robust spectral analysis and modeling, and its applications; representation, modeling, coding, and reconstruction of signals and images; sensor array processing; sensitivity analysis of digital filters and system identifiers.
