Bio
Antonio Pascual Iserte received the Electrical Engineering degree and the Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, in September 2000 and February 2005, respectively. He was awarded with the "First National Prize of 2000/2001 University Education" by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Culture, and with the "Best 2004/2005 PhD Thesis Prize" by UPC.
From September 1998 to June 1999 he worked as a Teaching Assistant on the field of microprocessor programming in the Electronic Engineering department at UPC, and from June 1999 to December 2000 he was with Retevision R&D, working on the implantation of the DVB-T and T-DAB networks in Spain. In January 2001, he joined the Department of Signal Theory and Communications at the UPC, where he worked as a Research Assistant until September 2003. He received a predoctoral grant from the Catalan government for the PhD studies during this period. In September 2003 he became Assistant Professor at the Escola Politècnica Superior de Castelldefels of the UPC, where he teaches currently undergraduate courses in Linear Systems and Digital Signal Processing. He also teaches post-graduate coourses in Advanced Signal Processing in the Dept. of Signal Theory and Communications. Since April 2008 he is Associate Professor at UPC.
His current research interests include: array processing, robust designs, OFDM, MIMO channels, multiuser access and optimization theory. He has been involved in several research project such as UniLAN (Universal Local Area Network), MARQUIS (Multi-antenna tRansceivers for QoS, Ubiquitous and Improved wireless Services), and MIMOWA (MIMO technologies for Wireless Acces), all of them included in the European program EUREKA-MEDEA+, and in the project GIRAFA (Intelligent radio resource management in high-speed ad-hoc networks by developing techniques comprising fuzzy logic, array signal processing and medium access control protocols), financed by the Spanish Science and Technology Commission (CICYT). He has also published several papers in international and national conferences and journals.
