IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE [42] MARCH 2015

Milano, Italy. In 2007, he received his doctoral degree from

Technische Universität Ilmenau on the topic of channel modeling

for mobile communications. He then joined Fraunhofer Institute

for Integrated Circuits IIS working on audio watermarking and

parametric representations of spatial sound. In 2012, he was

appointed full professor at TU Ilmenau in the research area of

wireless distribution systems and digital broadcasting. His cur-

rent research interests include the analysis, modeling, and

manipulation of multidimensional signals, over-the-air testing for

terrestrial and satellite communication systems, and sparsity-pro-

moting reconstruction methods.

Ville Pulkki (Ville.Pulkki@aalto.fi) has been working in the

field of audio since 1995. In his Ph.D. thesis (2001), he developed

a method to position virtual sources for three-dimensional loud-

speaker setups after researching the method using psychoacous-

tic listening tests and binaural computational models of human

hearing. Later he worked on the reproduction of recorded spatial

sound scenarios, on the measurement of head-related acoustics

and on the measurement of room acoustics with laser-induced

pressure pulses. Currently he holds a tenure-track assistant pro-

fessor position in Aalto University and runs a research group with

14 researchers. He is a fellow of the Audio Engineering Society

(AES) and received the AES Publication Award. He has also

received the Samuel L. Warner Memorial Medal from the Society

of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.

Emanuël A.P. Habets (e.habets@ieee.org) is an associate pro-

fessor at the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen (a joint

institution of the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-

Nürnberg and Fraunhofer IIS), and head of the Spatial Audio

Research Group at Fraunhofer IIS, Germany. He received the

Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Technische

Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 2007. From 2007

until 2009, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Technion–Israel

Institute of Technology and at the Bar-Ilan University, Israel.

From 2009 until 2010, he was a research fellow at Imperial

College London, United Kingdom. Currently, he is an associate

editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters, a member of the IEEE

Signal Processing Society (SPS) Technical Committee on Audio

and Acoustic Signal Processing, a member of the IEEE SPS

Standing Committee on Industry Digital Signal Processing

Technology, and has been a guest editor of IEEE Journal of

Selected Topics in Signal Processing. He is the recipient, with I.

Cohen and S. Gannot, of the 2014 IEEE SPS Signal Processing

Letters Best Paper Award. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
