Lieven De Lathauwer

Academic Background

I obtained the Master's degree in Electro-Mechanical Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Applied Sciences from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, in 1992 and 1997, respectively. From 1997 to 2000 I was a post-doctoral researcher with the research group SCD-SISTA. From 2000 to 2007 I had a permanent research position with the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, research group CNRS-ETIS. Since September 2007 I am Associate Professor with the K.U.Leuven. I am affiliated with both the Group Science, Engineering and Technology of Campus Kortrijk and with the group SCD-SISTA of the Electrical Engineering Department (ESAT). I am Associate Editor of the SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications and the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.

My Research in a Nutshell

The theme of my research is signal processing based on multilinear algebra.

Concepts of linear algebra are generalized to the algebra of higher-order tensors. This includes generalizations of key matrix decompositions, like the singular value decomposition. These concepts are used to develop new signal processing techniques, like independent component analysis and multi-way factor analysis. Some specific applications (mainly in biomedical engineering and wireless communication) are studied in more detail.

Keywords for my research interests are linear and multilinear algebra, statistical signal and array processing, higher-order statistics (HOS), independent component analysis (ICA) and blind source separation (BSS), harmonic analysis, factor analysis, identification, blind identification and equalization.
