Stevan Mirko Berber

Stevan Berber was born in Stanisic, Serbia in 1950. He completed his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering in Zagreb, master studies in Belgrade, and Ph.D. studies in Auckland, New Zealand. Before coming to the academic world, he had been working nearly 20 years in research institutions and in telecommunication industry. His research interests were in the following fields: mobile communication systems, digital transmission systems in integrated services digital networks (ISDN), and systems for supervision and control of ISDN networks. At present Stevan is with the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are in the field of digital communication systems (modulation and coding theory and applications), in particular CDMA systems and wireless computer and sensor networks. His teaching interests are in communication systems, information and coding theory, digital signal processing, and computer networks. He is an Author of more than 50 referred journal and international conference papers and 7 books. Stevan has been leading or working on a number of research and industry projects.
