Biography
Prof. Heinrich Meyr received his M.Sc. and
Ph.D. from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He spent over
12 years in various research and management
positions in industry before accepting a
professorship in Electrical Engineering at Aachen
University of Technology (RWTH Aachen) in 1977.
He has worked extensively in the areas of
communication theory, digital signal processing
and CAD tools for system level design for the
last thirty years. His research has been applied
to the design of many industrial products. At
RWTH Aachen he is a co-director (together with
Prof. Gerd Ascheid) of the Institute for
Integrated Signal Processing System (ISS)
involved in the analysis and design of complex
signal processing systems for communication
applications. Prof. Meyr was a co-founder of
CADIS GmbH (acquired 1993 by Synopsys, Mountain
View, California) a company which commercialized
the tool suite COSSAP. In 2001 he has co-founded
LISATek Inc., a company with breakthrough
technology to design application specific
processors. Most recently (February 2003 )
LISATek has been acquired by CoWare, an
acknowledged leader in the area of system level
design. At Coware Dr.Meyr has accepted the
position of Chief scientist. Prof. Meyr has
published numerous IEEE papers and holds many
patents. He is author (together with Dr. G.
Ascheid) of the book "Synchronization in Digital
Communications", Wiley 1990 and of the book
"Digital Communication Receivers.
Synchronization, Channel Estimation, and Signal
Processing" (together with Dr. M. Moeneclaey and
Dr. S. Fechtel), Wiley, October 1998. He has
received three IEEE best paper awards. His
present research interest is in communication
theory (MIMO, channel and interference
estimation, analysis of turbo decoders), design
of energy efficient ASIPs for wireless communicati
on and the LISATek tool suite for the design of
ASIPs. In 1998 Prof. Meyr was a visiting
scholar at UC Berkeleys wireless research centre
(BWRC). He was elected as the Mc Kay
distinguished lecturer at the EE department of
the UC Berkeley for the spring term 2000. Dr.Meyr
is also the recipient of the prestigious
Vodafone Innovation Prize for the year 2000.
The Vodafone prize is awarded for outstanding
contribution to the area of wireless
communication. As well as being a Fellow of the
IEEE he has served as Vice President For
International Affairs of the IEEE Communications
Society.
