Short Biography

Pascal O. Vontobel received the Diploma degree in electrical engineering in 1997, the Post-Diploma degree in information techniques in 2002, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2003, all from ETH Zurich, Switzerland.

From 1997 to 2002 he was a research and teaching assistant at the Signal and Information Processing Laboratory at ETH Zurich. After being a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (visiting assistant professor), and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he joined the Information Theory Research Group at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, CA, in the summer of 2006 as a research scientist. His research interests lie in information theory, communications, and signal processing.

Dr. Vontobel is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and has been on the technical program committees of several international conferences. Recently, he has co-organized a BIRS workshop in Banff on "Applications of Matroid Theory and Combinatorial Optimization to Information and Coding Theory" and a workshop at Tel Aviv University on "Linear Programming and Message-Passing Approaches to High-Density Parity-Check Codes and High-Density Graphical Models." Moreover, he has been three times a plenary speaker at international information and coding theory conferences and has been awarded the ETH medal for his Ph.D. dissertation.
