Specialization profile--Signal Processing

The Signal Processing discipline focuses on the theory, design, and application of advanced signal processing methods. Students gain expertise in topics such as array processing, detection and estimation, sampling theory, distributed processing, convex optimization, graph signal processing, and machine learning. Applications range from audio and acoustics to wireless communication, radio astronomy, biomedical imaging (MRI, ultrasound, EEG, ECG), and video analysis.

Signal Processing also addresses cutting-edge domains like distributed sensing from space and signal systems for autonomous driving. You will combine theoretical foundations with practical system design for solving real-world challenges in science and engineering.

This discipline prepares for a thesis in the SPS Section.

By selecting certain courses, you could follow a profile into one of the following directions:

  • Signal processing for communication
  • Audio and acoustic signal processing
  • Biomedical signal procesing
  • Machine learning
  • Distributed autonomous systems
