Ferran Marques

Ferran Marques received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 1988. From 1989 to June 1990, he worked in the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and in June 1990, he joined the Department of Signal Theory and Communications of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). In 1991, he was with the Signal and Image Processing Institute at USC in Los Angeles, Calif, USA. He received the Ph.D. degree from the UPC in December 1992 and the Spanish Best Ph.D. thesis in electrical engineering award in 1992. Since 1995, he is an Associate Professor at UPC. He has served for the EURASIP AdComas responsible of the member services (1998”2000), as Secretary and Treasurer (2000”2002), and currently as the President. He was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Electronic Imaging (SPIE) in the area of image communications (1996”2000) and currently, he serves in the Editorial Board of the EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing. He is an author or a coauthor of more than 70 publications that have appeared as journal papers and proceeding articles, 4 book chapters, and 4 international patents.
