Professor Beaulieu was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Communications January 2000.
Norman Beaulieu was awarded the NSERC E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship, the first electrical engineer to be so honoured in fifteen years, in 1999.
Dr. Beaulieu was elected to IEEE Fellow on January 1, 1999 with the
citation:
"For contributions to the analysis and modeling of wireless data and
digital communication systems."
Professor Beaulieu is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is the Editor for Wireless Communication Theory of the IEEE Transactions on Communications, Associate Editor for Wireless Communication Theory of the IEEE Communications Letters, and holds the iCORE Research Chair in Broadband Wireless Communications.
The group's research has been funded by iCORE, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Communications and Information Technology Ontario (CITO), the Telecommunications Research Institute of Ontario (TRIO), the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism (MEDTT), and the Ontario/Singapore International Research Initiative.
Dr. Beaulieu, faculty colleagues, and students are actively pursuing research in a number of areas. These include topics in digital wireless communications and communications theory. Some areas of research are CDMA spread spectrum, frequency-hopped spread spectrum, multitone QAM, interference systems, channel modeling and simulation techniques. Work is also being done on diversity, decision feedback equalization, modulation classification and digital synchronization.
