Dr Saeid Sanei joins the Department
Thursday 16 December 2010
We are delighted to announce that Dr Saeid Sanei, formerly with Cardiff University, has joined the Department as Reader in Computing.
Dr Sanei’s research expertise is in biomedical signal processing. He will work closely with Professor Yaochu Jin in growing the research activities in the NICE group.
Dr. Sanei received his PhD from Imperial College of Science, Technology, and Medicine, London, in Biomedical Signal and Image Processing in 1991. He has been a member of academic staff in Iran, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. He is an internationally known expert in signal processing, biomedical signal processing, and pattern recognition.
His recent research contributions have been in the areas of compressive sensing, spatial filtering and beamforming, constrained blind source separation (BSS) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) environments, Tensor factorisation, constrained optimisation, non-linear prediction and analysis of dynamical changes using chaos theory, with application to analysis of brain signals, gait recognition, audio and video data, brain-computer interfacing (BCI), and source localisation and tracking.
He has published more than 210 journal and conference papers (including a number of invited papers). He published a unique book (as a research monogram) entitled “EEG Signal Processing” with John Wiley Publisher in 2007. He has been the organiser and Chair of IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Workshop, SSP2009, Cardiff, UK, the organiser of the 15th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing, DSP2007, Cardiff, UK, Special Sessions Chair of 16th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing, DSP2009, and Co-organiser and Finance Chair of the IEEE Statistical Signal Processing Conference, SSP2001, Singapore. He has served as the Guest Editor and Associate Editor of the Journal of Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience special issue in EEG Signal Processing and three other journals, Associate Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, a Member of the Steering, Advisory, and Technical Committees of many prestigious conferences. He is the UK EURASIP Liaison Officer, and Honorary Chair of Biosignals 2010, Valencia, Spain. He has supervised 26 PhD and a number of MSc and MPhil by research students.
