Stadius Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing and Data Analytics
STADIUS is headed by Prof. Toon van Waterschoot
Academic Staff: Prof. Josep Balasch Masoliver , Prof. Alexander Bertrand , Prof. Jos De Brabanter , Prof. Lieven De Lathauwer , Prof. Bart De Moor , Prof. Maarten De Vos , Prof. Aritra Konar , Prof. Tjonnie Li , Prof. Marc Moonen , Prof. Yves Moreau , Prof. Panagiotis Patrinos , Prof. Rodolphe Sepulchre , Prof. Johan Suykens , Prof. Maria Torres Vega , Prof. Toon van Waterschoot , Prof. Bart Vanrumste and Prof. Mathias Verbeke
STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing, and Data Analytics pursues excellence in an explicit and synergistic combination of fundamental and applied research:
With core concepts from linear and multi-linear algebra, statistics, optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the fundamental research is focused on the development of mathematical engineering tools and numerical algorithms.
Building upon this foundation, the applied research is geared towards putting these tools and algorithms into motion in order to advance the current state of technology across a wide range of relevant application fields, including industrial automation and control, speech and audio signal processing, digital communications, biomedical data analysis and signal processing, bioinformatics and systems biology.

Sabine Van Huffel and Alexander Bertrand have received awards at the European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) in Helsinki.
Sabine was awarded the Group Technical Award "for establishing one of the leading European research groups in biomedical signal processing".
Alexander was awarded the EURASIP Early Career Award "for contributions to signal processing for EEG, neuro-steered hearing prostheses, and neural implans"
The European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO) is the flagship conference of EURASIP. It is recognised as one of the premier signal processing conferences, attracting delegates and papers from all over the world.
Frank Verstraete publishes a book about quantum physics
09 September 2023
Frank Verstraete, former PhD researcher at ESAT and now top Professor in Quantum Information Theory believes that quantum physics is a fundamental part of our world, and that it has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives, from energy production to medicine to warfare.
The book "Waarom niemand kwantum begrijpt en iedereen er toch iets over moet weten" (Why no one understands quantum physics, but everyone still needs to know something about it) by Frank Verstraete and Céline Broeckaert tells the story of quantum physics in a clear and engaging way.
The authors explain the basic concepts of quantum physics in a way that is accessible to a general audience. They also discuss the history of quantum physics and the impact it has had on our understanding of the world.
