- Short Bio
Dr. Mathini Sellathurai is currently a Reader in Digital Communications and Signal Processing with the Institute of Electronics, Communications, and Information Technology, School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast, U.K. Her current research interests include adaptive and statistical signal processing, space-time and MIMO communications theory, information theory and cognitive radio with applications in radar technology, telemedicine, underwater communications, satellite communications, and future wireless networks. Her current research has been funded by EPSRC under EP/D07827X/1 for advanced signal processing techniques for multi-user multiple-input multiple-output broadband wireless communications; MIMO-RADAR and waveform agility to improve low elevation target detection (also partially supported by QinetiQ, Portsmouth); EP/G026092/1 for Bridging the gap between design and implementation of soft-detectors for Turbo-MIMO wireless systems and EP/H012257/1 for Signal Processing Techniques to Reduce the Clutter Competition in Forward Looking Radar. She is also receiving European Union Frame Work 7 Funding for Cognitive radio oriented wireless networks.
Dr. Sellathurai was the recipient of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s doctoral award for her Ph.D. dissertation and a co-recipient of the IEEE Communication Society 2005 Fred W. Ellersick Best Paper Award. Dr. Sellathurai is currently serving as an Associate Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SIGNAL PROCESSING and also an organizer for the IEEE International Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Systems, IIT Delhi, India, 2009. She has been a Technical Program Committee member for the IEEE International Conference of Communications from 2004 to 2010.
