Technical Expertise: My expertise and research interests focus on the development and evaluation of new algorithms for digital processing of information bearing signals, including: speech/audio, data communications and radar/sonar signals. Known as Statistical Signal Processing, this field of study aims to devise, and analyze performance of computational procedures that can be used in various electronic or software systems to draw inference from imperfect or incomplete measurements. It makes intensive use of modern techniques from signal processing, applied probability and statistics, mathematical optimization, etc. In my work, special emphasis is given to the study of efficient processing structures and algorithms for filtering, parameter estimation/tracking and detection of signals corrupted by noise and interference (echo, multi-path fading, reverberation, etc.). One of the driving goals of this research is to optimize the statistical performance of the new algorithms, while reducing their computational complexity so that they are amenable to real-time implementation. Targeted application areas in electrical and computer engineering include multi-media communications, mobile wireless networks and broadband wireline communications.

B. Champagne 3 30-03-2016

Over the years, I have developed considerable expertise and made significant contributions in several key sub-areas of statistical signal processing, including: • Array sensing of communication signals: adaptive/robust beamforming, source localization

algorithms, subspace tracking, channel modeling and simulations, MIMO and relay systems. • Signal detection and estimation: channel estimation and equalization, optimal receiver structures,

spatial/spectral frequency analysis, time delay estimation. • Wireless communications: spectrum sensing for cognitive radio systems, MIMO relaying, filter bank

for multi-carrier modulation, physical layer security. • Speech & audio processing: acoustic echo cancellation, microphone arrays, talker location, speech

enhancement, audio classification, voice activity detection. • Adaptive signal processing: efficient filter structures and algorithms, subband and transform domain

adaptation, blind source separation, collaborative and distributed processing. • DSP fundamentals: filter design, digital filter banks, multi-rate systems, quantization effects, real-

time DSP implementations.

Summary of Activities:

Research activities: Duties include elaboration of grant and contract proposals, obtaining funding through government agencies and industrial partners/sponsors, project management and leadership, supervision of highly qualified personal, redaction of technical reports and scientific publications, presentation of results at conferences and company meetings, etc. Teaching and supervision: Preparation of course material (class notes, web pages, assignments, exams), giving lectures at the undergraduate and graduate levels, managing teaching assistants and graders, etc. Supervision of graduate students (M.Eng. and Ph.D.), postdoctoral fellows, visiting students, and undergraduate students in final year project, participation in various thesis committees, etc. Academic services at McGill: Active participation in several administrative committees within the ECE Department, the Engineering Faculty and University administration.
