A. Kaup

André Kaup received the Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from Aachen University of Technology (RWTH), Germany, in 1989 and 1995, respectively. From 1989 to 1995, he was with the Institute for Communication Engineering at Aachen University of Technology, where he was responsible for industrial as well as academic research projects in the areas of high-resolution printed image compression, object-based image analysis and coding, and models for human perception. In 1995 he joined Siemens Corporate Technology in Munich, where he chaired European research projects in the area of very low bit rate video coding, image quality enhancement, and mobile multimedia communications. In 1999 he was appointed Head of mobile applications and services, with research focussing on multimedia adaptation for heterogeneous communication networks. Since 2001 he is a Full Professor and Head of the Chair of Multimedia Communications and Signal Processing at University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. He is a Member of the German Informationstechnische Gesellschaft and a Senior Member of the IEEE. He was elected Siemens Inventor of the year 1998 and is the recipient of the 1999 ITG Award. From 1997 to 2001, he was also the Head of the German MPEG delegation and an Adjunct Professor at Technical University of Munich.
