| EURASIP Awards: Announcement of 2020 Best PhD Awards |
EURASIP created and maintains a database of PhD theses at http://theses.eurasip.org,
which is one of the World's largest in the area of signal processing. The database also keeps track of monthly downloads.
Every year a Committee of experts, nominated by the EURASIP BoD, selects up to three theses related to different areas of signal processing to be awarded. The selection process is based on the evaluation of the impact of the theses,
their subsequent journal and conference publications and related citations received, on the download statistics as well as on the review reports of independent reviewers.
The 2020 winners are:
Ina Kodrasi, for the PhD thesis "Dereverberation and noise reduction techniques based on acoustic multi-channel equalization", supervised by Simon Doclo (University of Oldenburg, Germany, 2015).
Valerio Cambareri, for the PhD thesis “Matrix Designs and Methods for Secure and Efficient Compressed Sensing”, co-supervised by Riccardo Rovatti and Gianluca Setti (University of Bologna, Italy, 2015) .
On behalf of the EURASIP Board of Directors, we would like to congratulate the winners.
