Paolo Prandoni

I appeared about at the same time as the White Album and, upon being born, I immediately took the one and only sabbatical of my life, which lasted a leisurely four years. I then proceeded to be pre-schooled, schooled, middle- and high-schooled, college educated, and finally grad-schooled here at EPFL. As a kid I was fascinated by those expensive long-distance phone calls and so I specialized in communication systems. And then I did this and I did that. But do we really want to go into details? I thought so.Extracurricular activities Together with Mike Gubser, I wrote a musical that was performed on (actually, off) Broadway in 2015. That was fun!Industry In 2006 I co-founded Quividi, an automated audience measurement company that provides real-time attention analytics to helps media owners, retailers, and brands finely count, qualify and engage their audiences. ResearchBook in Open Access With Martin Vetterli, I wrote the book Signal Processing for Communications (EPFL Press, 2008). In 2010, we decided to release the book in Open Access and you can download your camera-ready PDF copy here!Other freebies Some LaTeX work:DSPTricks, a package for beautiful Signal Processing illustrations in PostScriptMultiPub, a package and workflow for multi-target publications (EPUB3, PDF, HTML) Teaching & PhD Past EPFL PhD Students as codirector Niranjan Thanikachalam Courses Signal processing COM-202 Signal processing theory and applications: discrete and continuous time signals; Fourier analysis, DFT, DTFT,CTFT, FFT, STFT; linear time invariant systems; filter design and adaptive filtering; sampling; interpolationand quantization; image processing, data communication and control systems.
