About Simon Haykin
- Er.
- Prof.
- Simon Haykin is Professor of Electrical Engineering; noted for his pioneering work in Adaptive Signal Processing with emphasis on applications to Radar Engineering and Telecom Technology.
- He is currently Distinguished University Professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. He received BSc (First-Class Honours); Ph.D., and DSc., degrees-all in Electrical Engineering from University of Birmingham, UK (England).
- He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
- In 2002 he became a recipient of Henry Booker Gold Medal from URSI and in 1999 received Hon.
- Degree of Doctor of Technical Science from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and many other medals and prizes. In mid-1980s, he shifted thrust of his research effort in direction of Neural Computation, which was re-emerging at that time.
- All along, he had a vision of revisiting fields of radar engineering and telecom technology from a brand new perspective.
- That vision became a reality in early years of this century with publication of two seminal journal papers: “Cognitive Radio: Brain-empowered Wireless communications”, which appeared in IEEE J.
- Selected Areas in Communications, Feb.
- 2005. “Cognitive Radar: A Way of the Future”, which appeared in the IEEE J.
- Signal Processing, Feb.
- 2006. Cognitive Radio and Cognitive Radar are two important parts of a much wider and integrative field: Cognitive Dynamic Systems, research into which has become his passion.
