IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE [80] MARCH 2015
AUTHORS
Jan Wouters ([e-mail]) obtained M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Leuven, KU Leu-
ven, Belgium, in 1982 and 1989, respectively, with an intermis-
sion for officer military service. From 1989 to 1992, he was a
postdoctoral research fellow with the National Fund for Scien-
tific Research (FWO) at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (UCL
Louvain-la-Neuve) and at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
(United States). Since 1993, he has been a professor in the
Department of Neurosciences of the KU Leuven (full professor
since 2005) where he teaches five physics and audiology cours-
es. His research focuses on audiology, the auditory system, and
auditory prostheses. He has authored approximately 240 articles
in international peer-reviewed journals and is an associate edi-
tor of three international journals, president of the European
Federation of Audiology Societies, president of the Belgian
Audiology Society, and secretary-general of the International
Collegium of Rehabilitative Audiology.
Hugh J. McDermott ([e-mail]) is the
deputy director of the Bionics Institute of Australia and a professo-
rial fellow of the University of Melbourne. He is a biomedical engi-
neer and Fellow of the IEEE. He was elected a fellow of the
Acoustical Society of America in 2002 for signal processing that
improves speech recognition with cochlear implants (CIs). For
over 30 years, he has contributed directly to the design, develop-
ment, and evaluation of CIs, hearing aids, and neurostimulation
devices. He was named as an inventor on 19 patent families and
has ten patent applications currently being processed. He has
authored more than 105 journal articles, seven book chapters, and
over 100 additional publications. In 2009, he was awarded the first
Callier Prize in Communication Disorders, a biennial award from
the University of Texas, Dallas, for leadership that has fostered sci-
entific advances and significant developments in the diagnosis and
treatment of communication disorders.
Tom Francart ([e-mail]) received the
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from the University of
Leuven, KU Leuven, Belgium, in 2004 and 2008, respectively. He
has been a research professor in the research group ExpORL,
Department of Neurosciences, KU Leuven since 2013. His
research interests include sound processing for auditory prosthe-
ses, binaural hearing, and objective measures of hearing.
