STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing and Data Analytics

STADIUS is a research division of Department of Electrotechnical Engineering at the KU Leuven.

STADIUS's major research objective is to contribute to the development of improved digital (control and signal processing) systems, that incorporate advanced mathematical modeling techniques as a crucial new ingredient.
To achieve this goal, a variety of research activities are set up, ranging from fundamental/theoretical work to applications driven algorithm design and implementation.

Bioinformatics & Computational Biology

Systems, Models and Control

Biomedical Data Processing

Digital Signal Processing for Audio and Telecommunications

STADIUS draws concepts from mathematical fields such as linear and multi-linear algebra, statistics, discrete mathematics, differential geometry, optimization, etc. Its strategic basic research is focused on generic translations of basic concepts into algorithmic implementations, focusing on numerical linear algebra issues as well as software and hardware implementation issues.

Our ultimate goal is to prove that mathematical modeling based algorithms provide significant performance improvement.
To this aim, three specific application fields are targeted, namely digital communications, biomedicine and modeling and control of industrial processes and mechatronic products.
