The narrative -- which can also be traced back to pioneering work
carried out at UCL in the early 20^th century -- articulates how
intersections between the disciplines of information theory,
communications theory and statistical signal processing is
revolutionizing the theory and practice of sensing. It also describes
major historical milestones ranging from the now well-established
Shannon-Nyquist sensing paradigm to more recent state-of-the-art sensing
modalities, including compressive sensing, structured compressive
sensing and adaptive sensing.
The narrative also covers work on the foundations and applications of a
new principled "communications-inspired" sensing paradigm, which
leverages the interplay between key quantities in information theory and
estimation theory, carried out in collaboration with members of the
Universities of Cambridge, Princeton and Duke. This sensing paradigm is
shown to lead to cutting-edge results in various domains, including
compressive imaging.
*/Miguel Rodrigues/*is a Senior Lecturer with the Department of
Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College London, UK. He
was previously with the Department of Computer Science, University of
Porto, Portugal, rising through the ranks from Assistant to Associate
Professor, where he also led the Information Theory and Communications
Research Group at Instituto de Telecomunicações -- Porto.
He received the /Licenciatura/ degree in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Porto, Portugal in 1998 and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic
and Electrical Engineering from University College London, UK in 2002.
He has carried out postdoctoral research work both at UCL, Cambridge
University, as well as Princeton University, USA, in the period 2003 to
2007. He has also held visiting appointments at Cambridge University,
Princeton University, and Duke University, USA in the period 2007 to 2012.
His research work, which lies in the general areas of information
theory, communications and signal processing, has led to over 100
publications in journals and conferences to date.
Dr. Rodrigues was honored with the IEEE Information Theory and
Communications Societies Joint Paper Award 2011 for his work on
"Wireless Information-Theoretic Security" (jointly with M. Bloch, J.
Barros and S. McLaughlin). Dr. Rodrigues was also the recipient of the
Prize Engenheiro António de Almeida, the Prize Engenheiro Cristiano
Spratley, and the Merit Scholarship from the University of Porto.
