Biography
Sofiene Affes received the Engineering Diploma in Telecom and the Ph.D. degree (Hons.) in signal processing from Telecom ParisTech, Paris, France, in 1992 and 1995, respectively. He was Research Associate with INRS, Montreal, QC, Canada, until 1997, Assistant Professor until 2000, and Associate Professor until 2009. He is currently Full Professor and Director of PERWADE, a unique CAD 4M research-training program on wireless in Canada involving 27 partners from 8 universities and 10 industrial organizations. He has been twice a recipient of a Discovery Accelerator Supplement Award from NSERC, from 2008 to 2011 and from 2013 to 2016. From 2003 to 2013, he was Canada Research Chair in Wireless Communications. He currently holds a Cyrille-Duquet Research Chair in Telecom. In 2006 and 2015, he served as General Co-Chair of IEEE VTC 2006-Fall and IEEE ICUWB 2015, respectively, both held in Montreal, QC, Canada. He recently acted as General Chair of IEEE PIMRC 2017 also held in Montreal.
