Short CV
Roberto López Valcarce is a Telecommunications Engineer from the Universidade de Vigo (1995) and holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Iowa (USA) in 2000. Between 2001 and 2006 he enjoyed a Ramón y Cajal contract from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology at the Department of Signal Theory and Communications of the Universidade de Vigo, where he is currently Associate Professor. His research interests are in the field of signal processing applied to digital communications and sensor networks, including aspects such as spectral sensing, channel estimation, compressed sampling, full-duplex communications, digital predistortion and distributed processing. He is co-author of more than 50 papers in leading international journals and co-inventor on several working patents developed in collaboration with private companies. He is the recipient of the 2005 Best Paper Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society, as well as the 2007 Galicia Research Award from the Consellería de Innovación e Industria de la Xunta de Galicia in the young researchers category. From 2008 to 2011 he was associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing journal, and elected member of the IEEE Signal Processing for Communications and Networking Technical Committee from 2011 to 2013. Since 2018 he has been area editor of the Elsevier journal Signal Processing.
