Biography
MONCEF GABBOUJ received his BS degree in electrical engineering in 1985 from Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, and his MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Dr. Gabbouj is an Academy Professor with the Academy of Finland since January 2011. He is currently on sabbatical leave at the School of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA (August-December 2011) and the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California (January-June 2012). He was Professor at the Department of Signal Processing, Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland. He was Head of the Department during 2002-2007. Dr. Gabbouj was a visiting professor at the American University of Sharjah, UAE, in 2007-2008 and Senior Research Fellow of the Academy of Finland in 1997-1998 and 2007-2008. His research interests include multimedia content-based analysis, indexing and retrieval, nonlinear signal and image processing and analysis, voice conversion, and video processing and coding. Dr. Gabbouj is Honorary Guest Professor of Jilin University, China (2005-2010). Dr. Gabbouj is a Fellow of the IEEE. He served as Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in 2004-2005, and Past-Chairman of the IEEE-EURASIP NSIP (Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing) Board. He was chairman of the Algorithm Group of the EC COST 211quat. He served as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, and was guest editor of Multimedia Tools and Applications, the European journal Applied Signal Processing. He is the past chairman of the IEEE Finland Section, the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, Technical Committee on Digital Signal Processing, and the IEEE SP/CAS Finland Chapter.
