Detection and Estimation in Communications Systems B
Tureli, Uf
ORGANIZER: Elmasry, George
This session is focused on detection and estimation techniques in communications systems. This session has a focus on OFDMA systems. Papers present a mix of analysis and simulations results in conducting comparative studies.

George F. Elmasry received his B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Alexandria University, Egypt, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology. He is currently the president of the networking and communications division at DSCI. Before joining DSCI, he worked for General Dynamics C4S in the WIN-T. Prior to General Dynamics, he worked for Lucent Technologies in the Wireless Networks Wideband CDMA group. His research interests include the areas of wireless networking, ARQ, joint source and channel coding, and multidimensional interleaving. He holds over 35 publications and patents in these fields. He is also actively involved with technology conference organization and paper reviews.

Ufuk Tureli received the B.S. degree in 1994 from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 1998 and 2000 respectively from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville all in electrical engineering. Since July 2000, Dr. Tureli has been an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey. He is the director of the Wireless Research Laboratory at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Associate Director of Wireless Network Security Center (WiNSeC) at Stevens Institute of Technology. His research interests include signal processing with application to broadband wireless networks, estimation and detection for scalable, adaptive and robust communications and propagation studies. He has published numerous journal and conference articles in detection and estimation for scalable, adaptive and robust broadband wireless communications.
