President's Message: EURASIP Fellows 2015 |
In 2007, the EURASIP Board of Directors (BoD) initiated a “Fellowship Programme”, to recognize outstanding achievements of its members and volunteers. Each year, a select group of signal processing researchers are elevated to “EURASIP Fellow”, the Association's most prestigious honour.
It is my pleasure to announce the result of the 2015 selection process. In recognition of their many important contributions to the field of signal processing, the EURASIP BoD elevates the following individuals to “EURASIP Fellow 2015”:
- Prof. Moeness Amin (College of Engineering, Villanova University, Villanova, PA, USA) for contributions to signal processing for radar and satellite navigation.
- Prof. Sergio Barbarossa (Dept. of Information Engineering, Electronics, and Telecommunications, University of Rome “Sapienza”, Rome, Italy) for contributions to signal processing for radar remote sensing, sensor and communication networks.
- Prof. Dirk Slock (EURECOM, Sophia Antipolis, France) for contributions to adaptive filtering and signal processing for communications.
- Prof. Peter Vary (RWTH, Aachen, Germany) for contributions to wireless speech and audio communications.
I wish to congratulate our new EURASIP Fellows on this most important achievement. The Fellowship Awards will be presented at EUSIPCO 2015, to be held in Nice (France), the capital of the Côte d'Azur, August 31 – September 4, 2015.

Fellowships are awarded with a citation of the form “for contributions to ...”, i.e. referring to a major long-term contribution to a technical field.
How to Submit Nominations
Any EURASIP member can nominate a colleague to be elevated to Fellow grade. Nominations should be submitted to the EURASIP Awards Chair by e-mail. The nomination form can be downloaded from the EURASIP website via this link.
