Colloquium in Honor of Franz Hlawatsch
Colloquium
on the Occasion of his Retirement

Franz Hlawatsch is looking back on a long and successful career in the area of signal processing and communications. His scientific work on topics like time-frequency signal analysis, wireless communications, distributed algorithms, Bayesian inference, and localization and tracking has had a lasting impact.

Apart from being an internationally highly recognized academic researcher, he has also been an outstanding teacher, who has shaped the education and career of countless students.

We celebrate his career and accomplishments by holding a scientific colloquium that features nine invited talks by renowned experts in the areas of time-frequency signal processing, harmonic analysis, Bayesian signal processing, and information theory.
