Biography

Martin Bastiaans is a former Associate Professor in the Signal Processing Systems group at the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he taught courses on electrical circuit theory, signal theory, digital signal processing, and Fourier optics holography. His research encompasses various aspects of signal system theory, applying a signal-theoretical framework to address problems within Fourier optics, partial coherence, computer holography, and optical signal image processing. His current research focus lies on the description of signals in terms of their local frequency spectrum, investigating methods such as the Wigner distribution function, windowed Fourier transform, and Gabor's signal expansion. Bastiaans has been a long-standing member of the Electrical Engineering Research Committee and has held multiple departmental coordinator roles. He has contributed significantly to the IEEE community, including serving as Vice President for Member Geographic Activities and maintaining a close relationship with the Eindhoven Student Branch. His accolades include being named a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and a Fellow of the IEEE for his pioneering contributions to the field of optical signals and systems.
