Sari received his Diploma (M.S.) and Ph.D. in Telecommunications
Engineering from the ENST, Paris, France, and the Habilitation
degree from the University of Paris XI. He was with Philips
Research Laboratories from 1978 to 1989, first as Researcher
and then as Group Supervisor. From 1989 to 1996, he was R&D
Department Manager at SAT (SAGEM Group), and from 1996 to

Chair of the Telecommunications Department at SUPELEC, an
electrical engineering school located near Paris. His technical
contributions over the past 25 years have covered adaptive
equalization, interference cancellation, synchronization,
bandwidth-efficient coded-modulation, multi-carrier transmission,
and multiple access techniques, with applications to digital
microwave radio, digital satellite and cable TV, broadband
wireless access, and broadband cable networks.
Dr. Sari
has published over 135 technical papers and holds over 25
patents. He was an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications
from 1987 to 1991, Guest Editor of the European Transactions
on Telecommunications (ETT) in 1993, Guest Editor of the IEEE
JSAC in 1999, Associate Editor of the IEEE Communications
Letters from 1999 to 2002, and Chair of the Communication
Theory Symposium of ICC 2002. In 1995, he was elevated to
the IEEE Fellow Grade for his contribution to Advanced Signal
Processing in Digital Microwave Radio Systems and he received
the Andre Blondel Medal from the SEE (France). Presently,
he is serving as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications
Society and he is the Technical Program Chair of the forthcoming
ICC 2004.
