Short Bio

Fernando Pérez-González received the Telecommunications Engineer Degree from the University of Santiago, Santiago, Spain in 1990 and the Ph.D. from the University of Vigo , Vigo, Spain, in 1993, also in Telecommunications Engineering.

He joined the faculty of the School of Telecommunications Engineering , University of Vigo , as an assistant professor in 1990 and is currently Professor in the same institution. Since 2009 he is the holder of the Prince of Asturias Endowed Chair on Information Science and Technology at the University of New Mexico (UNM), where he spends every Fall Semester.

His research interests lie in the areas of digital communications, adaptive algorithms, robust control, digital watermarking and information forensics and security. He has been the principal investigator of a number of projects concerned with digital television and radio, both for satellite and terrestrial broadcasting, an area in which he holds two European patents. He is coeditor of the book Intelligent Methods in Signal Processing and Communications (Boston, MA: Birkhauser, 1997), has been Guest Editor of three special sections of the EURASIP journal Signal Processing devoted to signal processing for communications and digital watermarking, as well as Guest Editor of a Feature Topic of the IEEE Communications Magazine on digital watermarking.

Prof. Pérez-González was the Chairman of the 5th and 6th Baiona Workshops on Signal Processing in Communications, held in Baiona, Spain, in 1999 and 2003, respectively, and Co-Chairman of the 7^thInformation Hiding Workshop, in Barcelona, Spain, 2005, and of the First Workshop on Applications of the Benford’s Law, in Santa Fe, NM, USA, 2007. He has also co-authored over 40 papers in leading international journals and more than 110 papers published in various conference proceedings. He led the group of the University of Vigo that took part in the European CERTIMARK project and in the ECRYPT European Network of Excellence. He currently represents the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation in the European Research Area CHISTERA.

From 2007-2009 he was Manager of the Spanish National R&D Plan on Electronic and Communication Technologies, Ministry of Science and Innovation. He is the founding Director of the Galician Research and Development Center in Advanced Telecommunications (GRADIANT), a joint venture of 11 private companies, the three Galician universities, and the Galician government.

Prof. Pérez-González served as Associate Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters from 2005 to 2009. Currently, he is Associate Editor of the following journals:

· LNCS Transactions on Data Hiding and Multimedia Security,

· EURASIP International Journal on Information Security, and

· IEEE Trans. on Information Forensics and Security.

Since 2010 he is an Elected Member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, Information Forensics and Security Technical Committe.
