Biography

Guillem Femenias Nadal was born in Petra, Spain, in 1963. He received the Telecommunication Engineer degree and the Ph.D. degree in telecommunications from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 1987 and 1991, respectively.

From 1987 to 1994, he was a Researcher with UPC, where he became an Associate Professor in 1990. Since 1995, he was an Associate Professor with the Department of Mathematics and Informatics, Universitat de les Illes Balears (UIB), Mallorca, Spain, where he became Full Professor in 2010 and is currently the Leader of the Mobile Communications Group. He has been the Project Manager of projects ARAMIS, DREAMS, DARWIN, MARIMBA, and COSMOS, all of which being funded by the Spanish and Balearic Islands Governments. In the past, he was also involved with several European projects (ATDMA, CODIT, and COST). His current research interests and activities span the fields of digital communications theory and wireless personal communication systems, with particular emphasis on multiple-input–multiple-output cross-layer design in radio resource management strategies applied to fourth-generation systems.

Dr. Femenias is a corecipient of the Best Paper Award at the 2007 IFIP International Conference on PersonalWireless Communications. He has served for various IEEE conferences as a Technical Program Committee Member and as the Publications Chair for the IEEE 69th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC-Spring 2009).
