Enabling Position-Awareness in Ultra Low Power Wireless Sensor Networks with IEEE 802.15.4a UWB radios

Dr. Olivier Rousseaux is Activity Leader and Senior Researcher for the Wireless group of IMEC-NL; with activities focusing on air interface design, system architecture, algorithmic and baseband solutions for Ultra Low Power Radios, with a specific focus on low rate UWB IR radios. He previously worked as a researcher for the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, focusing on Block Transmission Techniques for High Data Rate Wireless Communications in a mobile environment. He received his M.Sc degree in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering from the Universite Catholique de Louvain and received his PhD degree expertise on Signal Processing for Wireless Communications from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

Holst Centre is an independent centre for open innovation that develops generic technologies and technology platforms for wireless autonomous transducer solutions and systems-in-foil. It is founded in 2005 by the research organizations IMEC and TNO. A key feature is interaction and cooperation with industry and academia. It is this kind of cross-fertilization that enables Holst Centre to tune its scientific strategy to industrial needs.
