 Prof. dr. ir. C.J. van Duijn
Rector Magnificus TU/e

Hans van Duijn, geboren in 1950 in Rotterdam, behaalde in 1975 zijn ingenieurstitel in de technische natuurkunde aan de Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. Vier jaar later, in 1979, promoveerde hij tot doctor in de wiskunde aan de Universiteit Leiden op een proefschrift, getiteld ‘Nonlinear Diffusion Problems’. Hij is zich sindsdien volledig aan de wetenschap blijven wijden als onderzoeker (o.m. bij de TU Delft), bijzonder hoogleraar (Universiteit Leiden), groepsleider (CWI in Amsterdam) en hoogleraar (aan de TU Delft van 1997 tot 2000 en nadien aan de TU/e). In 2002 werd hij lid van het bestuur van de Eindhovense faculteit Wiskunde en Informatica. In 2004 werd hij decaan van deze faculteit. Gedurende zijn wetenschappelijke loopbaan trad Hans van Duijn bij diverse buitenlandse universiteiten op als ‘visiting professor’. In 1995 kreeg hij de Leermeesterprijs van de TU Delft en in 1998 de Max Planck Research Award voor International Cooperation. Hij is hoofdredacteur van het blad ‘Computational Geosciences’ en redactielid van de bladen ‘Interfaces and Free Boundaries’ en ‘Transport in Porous Media’. Bovendien is Van Duijn lid van verschillende (besturen van) organisaties in de internationale wetenschappelijke gemeenschap. Prof. Van Duijn heeft een groot aantal wetenschappelijke publicaties op zijn naam staan. Sinds April 2005 is prof. Van Duijn Rector Magnificus van de TU/e.

prof. dr. ir. A.C.P.M. Backx
Decaan van de faculteit Elektrotechniek

Ton Backx received his MSc in Electrical Engineering in 1977 and his Ph.D. in 1987 based on research work in the area of reliable and robust multi-input multi- output process indentification methods. He has been a part time professor at Technical University of Eindhoven since 1992. Ton Backx has been involved in advanced control projects in hydrocarbon processing, lamp production and glass manufacturing. Ton Backx is now President of IPCOS Netherlands and Project Manager for IMPACT, a project on polymer process optimisation and control.

 dr.ir. F.M.J. Willems
IEEE Fellow

Frans M.J. Willems was born in Stein, The Netherlands, on June 26, 1954. He received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, and the Ph.D. degree from the Catholic University of Louvain, Louvain, Belgium, in 1979 and 1982 respectively. From 1979 to 1982 he was a research assistant at the Catholic University of Louvain. Since 1982, he is a staff member at the Electrical Engineering Department of Eindhoven University of Technology. His research contributions are in the areas of multi-user information theory and noiseless source coding. Dr. Willems received the Marconi Young Scientist Award in 1982. From 1988 to 1990, he served as Associate Editor for Shannon Theory for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. He is co-recipient of the 1996 IEEE Information Theory Society Paper Award. From 1998 to 2000 he was a member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society. Since 1999 he is connected to Philips Research Laboratories as an advisor. From 2001 to 2004 he served as an Associate Editor for Information Theory for the European Transactions on Telecommunications. Dr. Willems is a Fellow of the IEEE since 2005.

dr.ir. M.J. Bastiaans
Voorzitter IEEE Benelux sectie

 Martin J. Bastiaans was born in Helmond, the Netherlands, on January 18, 1947. He received the 'ingenieur' degree (= M.Sc. degree) in Electrical Engineering (with honors) and the Ph.D. degree in Technical Sciences from the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (Eindhoven University of Technology) in 1969 and 1983, respectively.
In 1969 he became 'wetenschappelijk medewerker' (= Assistant Professor) and since 1985 he has been 'universitair hoofddocent' (= Associate Professor) with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, in the Signal Processing Systems Group, where he teaches electrical circuit theory, signal theory, digital signal processing, and Fourier optics and holography. His research covers different aspects in the general field of signal and system theory, and includes a signal-theoretical approach of all kinds of problems that arise in Fourier optics, such as partial coherence, computer holography, optical signal and image processing, and optical computing. His main current research interest is in describing signals by means of a local frequency spectrum (for instance, the Wigner distribution function, the windowed Fourier transform, Gabor's signal expansion, etc.).
He served for more than ten years as a member of the Research Committee of the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1978/1982, 1993/1998, and 2005/2006, and for almost eight years as one of the three members of the Board of this Department in 1984/1986, 1991/1992, and 1998/2002. In these functions, and particularly in the function of board member, he was responsible for the departmental research. Since the beginning of 2001, he serves as the Department's coordinator for International Educational Activities; since September 2003, he is also the Department's Socrates/Erasmus coordinator. As of February 2005, he is a member of the Department's Examinations Committee.
He was the Counselor of the IEEE Student Branch Eindhoven from May 1996 till the beginning of 2007; on 27 February 2007 he became honorary member of this Student Branch "in recognition of his outstanding service and continuous contributions as counselor". In January 1999 he was appointed a member of the IEEE Region 8 Student Activities Committee, where he co-ordinates the Student Paper Contest, and since 1 January 2007 he is a member of the IEEE Region 8 OpCom, where he holds the position of Vice Chair Student Activities. In January 2004 he became a member of the IEEE Benelux Section ExCom, where he now holds the position of Section Chair.
Dr. Bastiaans is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America - "in recognition of distinguished service in the advancement of optics, particularly for pioneering contributions to the description of optical signals using local frequency spectrum concepts" - and a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He has published over 160 papers in international scientific journals, books, and proceedings of scientific conferences.
