Biography: Alex Stéphenne
was born in Quebec, Canada, on May 8, 1969. He received the
B.Ing. degree in electrical engineering from McGill University,
Montreal, Quebec, in 1992, and the M.Sc. degree and Ph.D. degrees
in telecommunications from INRS-Télécommunications, Université
du Québec, Montreal, in 1994 and 2000, respectively. In 1999
he joined SITA Inc., in Montreal, where he worked on the design
of remote management strategies for the computer systems of
airline companies. In 2000, he became a DSP Design Specialist
for Dataradio Inc., Montreal, a company specializing in the
design and manufacturing of advanced wireless data products
and systems for mission critical applications. In January 2001,
he joined Ericsson and worked for over two years in Sweden,
where he was responsible for the design of baseband algorithms
for WCDMA commercial base station receivers. From June 2003
to December 2008, he was still working for Ericsson, but was
based in Montreal, where he was a researcher focusing on issues
related to the physical layer of wireless communication systems.
Since 2004, he is also an adjunct professor at INRS, where he
has been continuously supervising the research activities of
multiple students. His current research interests include Coordinated
Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission and reception, Inter-Cell Interference
Coordination (ICIC) and mitigation techniques in Heterogeneous
Networks (HetNets), wireless channel modeling/characterization/estimation,
statistical signal processing, array processing and adaptive
filtering for wireless telecommunication applications. He joined
Huawei Technologies Canada, in Ottawa, in Dec. 2009.
Alex has been a member of the IEEE since 1995 and a Senior member since
2006. He is a member of the "Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec" (OIQ). He is a
member of the organizing committee and a co-chair of the Technical Program
Committee (TPC) for the 2012-Fall IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference
(VTC'12-Fall), in Quebec City. He has served as a co-chair for the "Multiple
antenna systems and space-time processing" track for VTC'08-Fall, in
Calgary, and as a co-chair of the TPC for VTC'2006-Fall in Montreal. He acts
regularly as a reviewer for many international scientific journals and
conferences and for the funding organizations NSERC.
Research topics: Wireless Communications, Modeling/Characterization/Estimation of the Wireless Channel, Digital Signal Processing, CDMA and OFDM Radio Interfaces, statistical Signal Processing, Array Processing, Adaptive Filtering, Synchronization, Performance Analysis.
