We are extremely proud to announce that AAU alumni Daniele Giacobello has received an IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award for the following journal paper, which was part of his Ph.D. work while at AAU:

Daniele Giacobello, Mads Græsbøll Christensen, Manohar N. Murthi, Søren Holdt Jensen and Marc Moonen, “Sparse Linear Prediction and Its Applications to Speech Processing“, IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, Volume: 20, No. 5, July 2012.

The paper was co-authored by lab member Mads Græsbøll Christensen who also supervised Daniele at AAU with Søren Holdt Jensen. The work has received a high number of citations in just two years (55 according to Google Scholar, and more than 150 when counting the preceding conference papers), has been accessed more than 1000 times in IEEE Xplore, and has spawned research in several different fields, including audio processing, seismography, video processing, and general analysis of time series and filter design.

The Young Author Best Paper Award honors the author(s) of an especially meritorious paper dealing with a subject related to the Society’s technical scope and appearing in one of the Society’s solely owned transactions or the Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing and who, upon the date of submission of the paper, is less than 30 years of age.
