Photo of Abdelhak Zoubir Prof. Abdelhak M. Zoubir received the Dipl.-Ing. degree (BSc/BEng) from Fachhochschule Niederrhein, Germany, in 1983, the Dipl.-Ing. (MSc/MEng) and the Dr.-Ing. (PhD) degree from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, in 1987 and 1992, all in Electrical Engineering. From August to December 1983, he was with Klockner-Moeller in Krefeld, Germany. He then joined the Control Division at Siempelkamp AG in Krefeld, Germany, where he was a Consultant until March 1987.

From April 1987 to March 1992, he was an Associate Lecturer in the Division for Signal Theory at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany. In June 1992, he joined Queensland University of Technology where he was Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Electronic Systems Engineering. In March 1999, he took up the position of Professor of Telecommunications in the Australian Telecommunications Research Institute (ATRI) and School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Curtin University of Technology, where he was Head of the Department of Electronics & Communications Engineering.

His general interest lies in statistical methods for signal processing with applications in communications, sonar, radar, biomedical engineering and vibration analysis. His current research interest lies in bootstrap techniques for modelling non-stationary and non-Gaussian signals, for the design of multi-user detectors in the presence of impulsive interference and for low rank channel estimation for W-CDMA.

Dr Zoubir is the General Co-chair of the 3rd IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology to be held at Darmstadt Germany in December 2003 (http://www.isspit2003.com) and was the Technical Chairman of the 11th IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal processing that was held in Singapore in August 2001 (http://ssp2001.bizcal.com). He was also the Technical Chairman of the fourth International Symposium on Signal Processing & Its Applications (ISSPA 96) and Deputy Technical Chairman (Tutorials & Special Sessions) for ICASSP-94. Dr Zoubir also served on several technical committees of international conferences, organized and chaired technical sessions at various international conferences. He is a member of the Technical Committee on Telecommunication of the International Association of Science & Technology for Development (IASTED) and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.

Dr Zoubir gave a tutorial, titled "The Bootstrap: A Powerful Tool for Statistical Signal Processing with Small Sample Sets" at ICASSP-99. The slides of his presentation are available on this site.

He is Senior Member of the IEEE, a Member of the Institution of Engineers, Australia and a Member of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
