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 TRLabs, Canada’s largest industry-university-government
pre-competitive research consortium in the Information and Communication
Technology area, headquartered in Edmonton. His research activity has been
closely tied to the consortium ever since.
Over the
years he has also done collaborative research work with Nortel Networks,
Ericsson Wireless Communications, German Aerospace Centre (DLR -
Oberpfaffenhofen), TELUS Communications, Huawei Technologies 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 (Montréal, Canada;
1993-1994), Ericsson Wireless Communications (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 multi-user MIMO and MIMO-OFDM systems, and multi-hop
relaying and network coordination (network MIMO) for broadband cellular applications.
Dr.
Krzymień is a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada, and a
licensed Professional Engineer in the Provinces of Alberta and Ontario, Canada.
He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular
Technology and a member of the Editorial Board of Wireless Personal
Communications (Springer). 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), and from 2000 to 2003 he was the
Associate Editor for Spread Spectrum and Multi-Carrier Systems of the IEEE
Transactions on Communications. He received the 1991/1992 A.H. Reeves Premium
Award from the Institution of Electrical Engineers (U.K.) for a paper published
in the IEE Proceedings, Part I. In
April 2008 he received the Best Paper Award at the 2008 IEEE Wireless
Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC’08).
