Ulrich Heute

Ulrich Heute was born in 1944 in Magdeburg, went to school till 1964, and studied electrical engineering at Stuttgart Technical University from 1965 to 1970; he received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in 1970. At Friedrich-Alexander University, Erlangen, he did research on digital filters, spectral analysis, and speech processing; he received the Ph.D. degree in 1975 and the Habilitation degree in 1982, and was a Senior Engineer until 1987. He became a Professor for digital signal processing at Ruhr-University Bochum in 1987, and has been a Professor for circuit and system theory at Christian-Albrechts University, Kiel, since 1993. He was a Guest Researcher at Georgia Institute of Technology in 1979 and at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1990, 1991, and 1997 (some months each). His research interests include digital signal processing, filters and filter banks, spectral analysis, and speech-signal processing (combined source and channel coding, enhancement, modeling, and quality assessment). He is a Member of the IEEE (SM), EURASIP (Secretary 1988–1994, President 1994–1998), ITG, DEGA, and ASA.
