Pintelon receives 2012 IEEE Keithley award
The researcher of parameter estimation, system identification, and signal processing has been awarded for innovative system identification methods for measurement applications
Rik Pintelon is the recipient of the 2012 IEEE Joseph F. Keithley Award in Instrumentation and Measurement.
Pintelon is being recognised for the development of innovative system identification methods for measurement applications. The award, sponsored by Keithley Instruments, is presented for outstanding contributions in the field of electrical measurement. It consists of a bronze medal, a certificate, and an honorarium.
Pintelon will receive the award at the 2012 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference, on May 15, 2012, at the Grazer Congress Conference Centre, Graz, Austria.
Rik Pintelon received the degree of Electrotechnical-Mechanical Engineer in July 1982, the degree of doctor in applied science in January 1988, and the qualification to teach at university in April 1994, all from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium.
Until September 2000, he was a Research Director of the Fund for Scientific Research – Flanders (FWO) and part-time lecturer at the VUB in the Electrical Measurement Department (ELEC). He is currently a full-time professor at ELEC. His main research interests are in parameter estimation, system identification, and signal processing.
The award's IEEE Evaluation Committee consider innovation and development, social value, concept uniqueness, other technical accomplishments, and the quality of the nominations.
The award is administered through the Technical Field Awards Council of the IEEE Awards Board and is independent of Keithley Instruments.
