In recognition of outstanding achievements in the broad field of Signal Processing, the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) elevates each year a select group of up to a maximum of four scholars to “EURASIP Fellow”, the Association's most prestigious honor. The award consists of a certificate that will be presented to the following individuals during the Opening and Awards Ceremony at EUSIPCO 2024, which will be held in Lyon (France) 26-30 August 2024:

Marco Di Renzo (CNRS and CentraleSupelec, Paris, France), "For contributions to theoretical and signal processing advances in wireless communication systems and networks, notably spatial and index modulation, and reconfigurable and holographic surfaces"

Gerhard Fettweis (Technische Universität Dresden, Germany), "For contributions to the theory and practice of statistical methods for signal processing"

Martin Haardt (Ilmenau University of Technology, Germany), "For contributions to multi-user MIMO communications and tensor-based signal processing"

Daniel Palomar (The Hong-Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong-Kong), "For contributions to optimization theory and algorithms with applications in communications systems and finance"

Sincerely yours,

Jean-Yves Tourneret
EURASIP President

The European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP) congratulates the following colleagues who will receive the Society's prestigious awards. The awards will be presented at Opening and Awards Ceremony at EUSIPCO 2024, which will be held in Lyon (France) 26-30 August 2024.

The Early Career Award is awarded to an outstanding researcher and engineer working within the technical scope of EURASIP at an early or mid-stage of his/her career, whose current work shows not only significant scientific achievements but also high potential to advance scientific knowledge through novel, timely and significant endeavors.
This year’s recipients is Victor Elvira, "For contributions in the theory and practice of Importance Sampling and Particle Filtering methodologies ".

The Technical Achievement Award honors a person who, over a period of years, has made outstanding technical contributions to theory or practice in technical areas within the scope of the Society, as demonstrated by publications, patents, or recognized impact in this field.
This year’s recipient is Alle-Jan Van Der Veen, "For contributions to subspace-based array signal processing".

The Group Technical Achievement Award is given to the head of a group in academia or industry that has achieved significant contributions in signal processing and related areas over a number of years.
This year’s recipient is Rainer Martin, "For contributions to statistical signal processing of speech and audio in hearing devices and for mobile communications through extensive activities of his research group"

After two terms of serving as its Editor-in-Chief, Geert Leus has recently stepped down. He has been succeeded by Cédric Ricard.

On behalf of EURASIP and Elsevier, we express our gratitude to Geert for his tremendous service to the journal over the past 6 years. Many individual members of the Editorial Board have expressed their gratitude to Geert; we are sure he will be missed! Under his leadership the Signal Processing journal maintained it high reputation as the flagship journal of EURASIP and one of the top journals in Signal Processing areas worldwide.

Cédric Ricard is Full Professor at Université Côte d'Azur, France. He has also been the Director of the French federative CNRS research association ISIS (Information, Signal, Image, Vision) in 2019-2023. His research interests include statistical signal processing and machine learning. Cédric Ricard has served the community in many ways so far (Associate Editor of top journals, OC member of major conferences, member of Technical Committees, etc).

EURASIP is very happy that Cédric has accepted to become the new EIC, and wish him all the best in taking up this new responsibility.
