| EURASIP Awards: Announcement 2015 Best PhD Thesis Awards |
EURASIP, the European Signal Processing Association (http://www.eurasip.org), created and maintains a database of PhD manuscripts at http://theses.eurasip.org, which is one of the World's largest in the area of signal processing. The database also keeps track of monthly downloads.
Every year a committee of experts nominated by the EURASIP BoD selects up to three theses related to different areas of signal processing to be awarded. The selection process is based on the evaluation of the impact of the theses, their subsequent journal and conference publications and related citations received, and on the review reports of the independent reviewers as well as on the download statistics.
The 2015 winners are:
Christoph Angerer for the thesis titled “Design and Exploration of Radio Frequency Identification Systems by Rapid Prototyping”, Technische Universität Wien, 2010, supervised by Markus Rupp and Robert Weigel.
Javier Arribas for the thesis titled “GNSS Array-based Acquisition: Theory and Implementation”, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, 2012, supervised by Carles Fernández.
Many congratulations to these winners on behalf of the EURASIP Board of Directors.
