MARCELLO CAMPOS MINISTRA PALESTRA NO ANFITEATRO DO PPEE NA PRÓXIMA SEXTA

Será realizada nesta sexta-feira (20/08) às 15 horas, no Anfiteatro do PPEE uma palestra com o Dr. Marcello L. R. de Campos cujo o tema será “Shrinkage Methods Applied to Adaptive Filters”.

Abstract

Some shrinkage strategies that render interpretable models can be solved as a linearly-constrained least squares problem and render model coefficients which are exactly zero. As a consequence, they produce estimators which may be more economical and have lower variance than those produced by ordinary least squares estimators, at the price of some bias.
Economy, in this case, means less computations, consequently less battery consumption and more sustainable systems.

Speaker: Prof. Marcello de Campos (COPPE/UFRJ)

Short Biography

Marcello L. R. de Campos was born in Niterói, Brazil, in 1968. He received the Engineering degree (cum laude) from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1990, the M.Sc. degree from COPPE/UFRJ in 1991, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada, in 1995, all in electrical engineering.

In 1996, he was post-doctoral fellow with the Department of Electronics, School of Engineering, UFRJ, and with the Program of Electrical Engineering, COPPE/UFRJ. From January 1997 until May 1998, he was Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering (DE/3), Military Institute of Engineering (IME), Rio de Janeiro.

He is currently Associate Professor of the Program of Electrical Engineering, COPPE/UFRJ, where he served as Department Vice-Chair and Chair in the years 2004 and 2005, respectively. From September to December 1998, he was visiting the Laboratory for Telecommunications Technology, Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo, Finland.

He served as IEEE Communications Society Regional Director for Latin America in 2000 and 2001. In 2001, he received a Nokia Visiting Fellowship to visit the Centre for Wireless Communications, University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland. From January until April 2008, he visited UNIK – University Graduate Center at University of Oslo, in Kjeller, Norway.

His research interests include adaptive signal processing, statistical signal processing, signal processing for communications, mobile and wireless communications, and MIMO systems.

Dr. de Campos is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Member of the Brazilian Telecommunications Society.
