Dr. Joakim Jaldén

Biography

Joakim Jaldén received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, in 2002 and 2007, respectively. He held a postdoctoral research position at Vienna University of Technology from July 2007 to June 2009. He also studied at Stanford University, CA, USA, between September 2000 and 2002, and was a visiting researcher at ETH in Zürich, Switzerland, in August-September 2008. Since July 2009, he has returned to KTH as a professor of signal processing. Jaldén served as an associate editor for IEEE Communications Letters from 2009 to 2011 and for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing from 2012 to 2016. He has been a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Communications Networking Technical Committee since 2013 and served as chair from 2019 to 2020. He was the program director for the five-year Degree Program in Electrical Engineering (CELTE) at KTH in 2016 and currently serves as the vice-chair of the Faculty Board of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. His early work on MIMO communications earned him the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s 2006 Young Author Paper Award, and he was honored with the Ingvar Carlsson Career Award in 2009 from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research. His recent work in signal processing for biomedical data analysis led to the development of analysis algorithms for ELISpot and FluoroSpot immunoassays, which were successfully commercialized by Mabtech AB. He was awarded the conference paper award at IEEE ISBI 2012 and recognized by the Bitplane Awards for his work on cell tracking challenges between 2013 and 2015.
