I did my PhD research at imec, and I obtained my PhD on cross-layer optimization for energy efficient wireless systems in September 2006 from KU Leuven, with honors. During the PhD, I had the opportunity to do an internship at National Semiconductor Corporation, Santa Clara USA, and be a visiting researcher at UC Berkeley. After the PhD, I went to UC Berkeley for a post-doc on cognitive radio and networking. After two amazing years in the bay area, I rejoined the wireless group at imec Leuven, first as senior researcher and then as principal scientist. My work at imec focused on spectrum sensing for cognitive radio, and software defined radio for LTE, WLAN and video broadcasting standards.

Since October 1st 2012, I am professor at KU Leuven. My research interests focuses on wireless systems and  networked systems. We work on 5G and beyond, Massive MIMO, cell-free communication, battery-less and sustainable electronics, aerial and non-terrestrial networks, integrated communication and sensing and mmWave and THz communication. Many challenging and interesting topics, never boring.
