Vita

Angel Lozano is a Professor of Information and Communication Technologies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona, Spain, where he teaches and conducts research on wireless communications as head of the WiSeCom (Wireless & Secure Communications) Group. Prof. Lozano received the Telecommunications Engineering degree from UPC, Spain, in 1992 and the Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, USA, in 1994 and 1998, respectively. Contemporarily, between 1996 and 1998, he worked for Rockwell Semiconductor Systems in San Diego, USA. In 1999, he joined Bell Labs (Lucent Technologies, now Nokia) in Holmdel, USA, where he was a member of the Wireless Communications Research Department until 2008. Between 2005 and 2008 he was also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, USA.

Prof. Lozano is a Fellow of the IEEE since 2014. He served as area editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (2017-2022) and as associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (2011-2014), the IEEE Transactions on Communications (1999-2009), the Journal of Communications & Networks (2010-2012), and the ComSoc Technology News (2018-2022). He has guest-edited various journal special issues and is actively involved in committees and conference organization tasks for the IEEE; in particular, he was the Chair of the IEEE Communication Theory Technical Committee (2013-2014) and was elected to the Board of Governors of the IEEE Communications Society (2012-2014). He has further participated in standardization activities for 3GPP, 3GPP2, IEEE 802.20 and the IETF.

Prof. Lozano has published extensively, holds 16 patents, and is the coauthor of the textbook “Foundations of MIMO Communication,” released by Cambridge University Press in 2019. His papers have received several awards, including the 2009 Stephen O. Rice prize to the best paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Communications, the 2016 Fred W. Ellersick prize to the best paper published in the IEEE Communications Magazine, and the 2016 Communications Society & Information Theory Society joint paper award. He also received the Bell Labs President’s Gold Award in 2002, the ICREA Academia Award from the Catalan Government for 2011-2015, 2016-2020, 2021-2025, and an ERC Advanced Grant for the period 2016-2021. He was a 2017 Highly Cited Researcher, and is serving as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE for 2023-2024.

Demonstrators

Participated in the first demonstration of out-of-cell MIMO interference cancellation at the 2003 IST European Summit in Aveiro, Portugal, in June 2003. The demonstrator consisted of two commercial Lucent Technologies base stations, fitted for MIMO transmission using up to 4 antennas, and two mobile station prototypes equipped with 4 receive antennas each. The baseband processing boards on each of these prototypes featured original MIMO ASIC chips. Live video was streamed from each base station down to a respective mobile, with cross-interference between the transmissions. At each mobile station, the MIMO ASIC cancelled the interference from the undesired base while detecting the signal from the serving base
