Biography

Prof. Dr. Giuseppe Abreu received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering and a specialization (LatuSensu) degree in telecommunications engineering from Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBa), Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, in 1996 and 1997, respectively, and the M.Eng. and D.Eng. degrees in physics, electrical and computer engineering from Yokohama National University, Japan, in March 2001 and March 2004, respectively. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow and later an Adjunct Professor (a Docent) in statistical signal processing and communications theory with the Department of Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Oulu, Finland, from 2004 to 2006 and from 2006 to 2011, respectively. Since 2011, he has been a Professor in electrical engineering with Constructor University, Bremen, Germany. From April 2015 to August 2018, he was a Full Professor with the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering, Ritsumeikan University, Japan.
