Bio

José Bioucas-Dias received the EE, MSc, PhD, and “Agregado” degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade Técnica de Lisboa (now Universidade de Lisboa), Portugal, in 1985, 1991, 1995, and 2007, respectively. Since 1995, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, IST, where he is an Associate Professor and teaches inverse problems and electric communications. He is also a Senior Researcher with the Pattern and Image Analysis group of the Instituto de Telecomunicações, which is a private non-profit research institution.

His research interests include inverse problems, signal and image processing, pattern recognition, optimization, and remote sensing. José Bioucas-Dias is an IEEE Fellow, is included in Thomson Reuters' Highly Cited Researchers 2015 list, and received the IEEE-GRSS David Landgrebe Award for 2017.

José Bioucas-Dias was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems and IEEE Transactions on Image Processing. He is a Senior Area Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. He was a Guest Editor for 6 special issues of IEEE journals. He was the General Co-Chair of the 3rd IEEE GRSS Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing, Evolution in Remote sensing (WHISPERS'2011) and has been a member of program/technical committees of several international conferences.
