Martin Haardt is a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology and Head of the Communications Research Laboratory at Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany. After studying electrical engineering at the Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, and at Purdue University, USA, he received his Diplom-Ingenieur (M.S.) degree from the Ruhr-University Bochum in 1991 and his Doktor-Ingenieur (Ph.D.) degree from Munich University of Technology in 1996. Dr. Haardt is a Fellow of the IEEE and of EURASIP and the recipient of the 2009 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the Vodafone (formerly Mannesmann Mobilfunk) Innovations-Award for outstanding research in mobile communications, the ITG best paper award from the Association of Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Information Technology (VDE), and the Rohde & Schwarz Outstanding Dissertation Award. Dr. Haardt was responsible for strategic research for third generation mobile radio systems and later the Director for International Projects and University Cooperations in the mobile infrastructure business of Siemens Mobile Networks in Munich, Germany. During his time at Siemens, he also taught in the international Master of Science in Communications Engineering program at Munich University of Technology. Dr. Haardt was a visiting professor at the University of Nice in Sophia-Antipolis, France, and at the University of York, UK, an Honorary Visiting Professor in the Department of Electronics at the University of York, UK, and an Invited Professor at the Université de Lorraine in Nancy, France. His research interests include wireless communications, array signal processing, high-resolution parameter estimation, as well as numerical linear and multi-linear algebra. Dr. Haardt has served in multiple capacities in the editorial board of several top technical journals, in various IEEE Signal Processing Society committees, and the technical committee of multiple international conferences.

José M. F. Moura is the Philip L. and Marsha Dowd University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a Licenciatura in Electrical Engineering from Instituto Superior T´ecnico (IST) and MSc, E.E., and D.Sc. degrees from MIT. He was a visiting Professor at MIT (1984-86, 1999-00, and 2006-07) and at NYU (210-14). His interests are in statistical, algebraic, and graph signal processing. He has published extensively and holds 17 patents, with the technology of two (co-inventor Alek Kavcic) found in over 3 billion disk drives of over 60% of all computers sold worldwide in the last 20 years, the subject of the then largest IP settlement in the ICT areas, US $750 Million, between CMU and a semiconductor company.
