Alfred Hanssen

Alfred Hanssen received the Ph.D. degree in theoretical plasma physics in 1992 from the University of Tromsø, Tromsø, Norway. He is currently Professor of Physics (signal processing) at the University of Tromsø, and he is a Senior R&D Adviser for Fugro Seismic Imaging, Oslo, Norway. From 1993 to 1994, he was with the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo, Norway. From 1994 to 1999, he was an Associate Professor at the University of Tromsø, and in 1999, he was appointed a Professor at the same university. Alfred has held visiting positions at Max-Planck-Institute fur Aeronomie, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, 1988-1989; Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, 1991; European Commission - Joint Research Center, Space Applications Institute, Ispra, Italy, 1996; and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, 2001-2002. His current research interests are in statistical signal processing, nonstationary random processes and inhomogeneous random fields, sensor array and multichannel signal processing, seismic imaging, audio, music and electroacoustics. Alfred has served in Technical Program Committees, and had other leading functions for many international conferences and workshops. Professor Hanssen is a previous Member of IEEE Technical Committee for Sensor Arrays and Multichannel Signal Processing, 2003–2005. Professor Hanssen is a past Associate Editor for EURASIP Journal of Wireless Communications and Networking, 2003–2006. At present, he serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Signal Processing Letters, for EURASIP Signal Processing and for Research Letters in Signal Processing. Alfred was a recipient of an Outstanding Young Investigator award and grant from the Research Council of Norway, in 2004, and in 2007, he received the Science Communication Award from the University of Tromsø.
