Mohamed-Slim Alouini

Mohamed-Slim Alouini
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia)

Mohamed-Slim Alouini is Professor at KAUST, SA, and associate dean of the Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering division. He's research interests are in the modeling, design, and performance analysis of wireless communication systems with current emphasis on MIMO, diversity, and adaptive modulation systems, cognitive radio systems, cooperative/collaborative communication systems, multi-hop communication systems, physical-layer security, MIMO RADAR systems, optical wireless communications, device-to-device communications, green communications systems and networks, and small cell/heterogenous networks. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a member of the Thomson ISI Web of Knowledge list of Highly Cited Researchers, and of the Elsevier/Shanghai Ranking list of Most Cited Researchers, an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society, and a co-recipient of best paper awards in ten IEEE conferences (including ICC, GLOBECOM, VTC, PIMRC and DySPAN).

Jean-Marie Bonnin

Jean-Marie Bonnin
Telecom Bretagne (Rennes, France)

Jean-Marie Bonnin is currently Professor at ENST and leads the Networks, Security and Multimedia department. He is a member of the IRISA / TACOMA research team. Since 2013, Jean-Marie is the scientific director of the RTS (Network, Telecommunications and Services) IRISA's department. He has been mainly interested in the convergence between IP networks and mobile telephony networks, and therefore in heterogeneous handover management. More recently, he has been involved in projects dealing with the mobility of the networks and its application to ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) and more generally to the mobility in Smart Cities. Therefore, he co-founded the YoGoKo start-up which develops innovative communication solutions for fixed and mobile multi-connected devices for this context. He is involved in several collaborative research projects at European level and in international academic collaborations with several countries, mainly in Asia and in North Africa.

Megumi Kaneko

Megumi Kaneko
National Institute of Informatics (Tokyo, Japan)

Megumi Kaneko is currently an Associate Professor at the National Institute of Informatics as well as the Graduate School of Advanced Studies (Sokendai), Tokyo, Japan. Her research interests include wireless communications, radio resource allocation and interference/energy management for 5G systems, Cloud Radio Access Networks (CRAN), Heterogeneous Small Cell Networks, PHY/MAC layer protocol design for M2M systems and wireless sensor networks. She has been the recipient of various research project grants including the Kakenhi grants-in-aid for scientific research from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture of Japan, and the PHC Sakura project jointly with the Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique (LRI), Paris-Sud University, France, co-funded by the JSPS and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEDI). She received the 2009 Ericsson Young Scientist Award, the IEEE Globecom 2009 Best Paper Award, the 2011 Funai Young Researcher's Award, the WPMC 2011 Best Paper Award, the 2012 Telecom System Technology Award and the 2016 Inamori Foundation Research Grant.

Vijay Kumar

Vijay Kumar
Indian Institute of Science (Bangalore, India)

Since 2003, Vijay Kumar has been on the faculty of IISc Bengaluru and was chairman of the Department of Electrical Communication Engineering from 2011-2014. Since 2010, he has also been an adjunct research professor at USC. His current research interests include codes for distributed storage and intrusion-detection algorithms for wireless sensor networks. He is an ISI highly-cited author and a Fellow of IEEE as well as the Indian National Academy of Engineering. He is also co-recipient of the 1995 IEEE Information Theory Society Prize-Paper award, a Best-Paper award at the DCOSS 2008 conference on sensor networks and the IEEE Data Storage Best-Paper Award of 2011/2012. A pseudorandom sequence family designed in a 1996 paper co-authored by him now forms the short scrambling code of the 3G WCDMA cellular standard. At IISc, he received the Rustum Choksi Award for Excellence in Research in Engineering in 2013 and from 2012-15 held the Tata Chem Chair. He was on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society in 2013-15, was a plenary speaker at ISIT 2014 and a TPC Co-Chair of ISIT 2015 held in Hong Kong.
