Witold A.
Krzymień - Biography |
Witold A. Krzymień received his M.Sc. (Eng.) and Ph.D.
degrees (both in Electrical Engineering) in 1970 and 1978, respectively, from
the Poznań University of Technology in Poznań, Poland. He received a
Polish national award of excellence for his PhD thesis.
Since
April 1986 he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, where he
currently holds the endowed Rohit Sharma Professorship in Communications &
Signal Processing. In 1986, he was one of the key research program architects
of the newly launched Telecommunications Research Laboratories (initially known
as ATRC, than TRLabs and finally as
TRTech), which for the next 30 years was Canada′s largest
industry-university-government pre-competitive research consortium in the
Information and Communication Technology area. His research activity was
closely tied to the consortium throughout its existence.
Over the years he has also done collaborative research work with TELUS
Communications, Huawei Technologies, Ericsson, Nortel Networks, German
Aerospace Centre (DLR - Oberpfaffenhofen) and the University of Padova (Italy). He held visiting research
appointments at the Twente University of Technology (Enschede, The Netherlands;
1980-1982), Bell-Northern Research (Montreal, Canada; 1993-1994), Ericsson CDMA
Systems (San Diego, USA; 2000), Nortel Networks Harlow Laboratories (Harlow,
UK; 2001), and the Department of Information Engineering at the University of
Padova (2005). His research is currently focused on radio resource
management and transceiver signal processing for broadband heterogeneous
cellular networks employing multi-user MIMO and massive MIMO antenna techniques.
Dr.
Krzymień is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics
Engineers (IEEE), a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, and a
licensed Professional Engineer in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Since 2007 he
has been an Editor of the IEEE
Transactions on Vehicular Technology and from 2000 to 2003 he was the
Editor for Spread Spectrum and Multi-Carrier Systems of the IEEE Transactions on Communications. From 1999
to 2005 he was the Chairman of Commission C (Radio Communication Systems and
Signal Processing) of the Canadian National Committee of URSI (Union Radio Scientifique Internationale).
He has chaired or co-chaired technical program committees for numerous
conferences in wireless communication systems and communication theory areas.
He has received several awards for his papers published in prominent archival
research journals and in proceedings of renowned international technical
conferences.
