Baltasar Beferull-Lozano received his M.Sc. in Physics from Universidad de Valencia, Spain, in 1995, with Highest Honors (First in Class Graduation Award, Premio Extraordinario), and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California (USC) in May 1999 and October 2002, respectively. At USC, he was a Research (Fellow) Assistant in the Department of Electrical Engineering, the Integrated Media Systems Center (IMSC), a NSF Engineering Research Center, and the Signal and Image Processing Institute (SIPI), where he received several awards including the Best Ph.D. Thesis paper Award and the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. He was awarded a National Doctoral (4-years) Fellowship from the Ministry of Education of Spain for his Ph.D. studies.  He has also worked for AT&T Shannon Laboratories (formerly AT&T Bell Laboratories), Information Sciences Center, Florham Park, NJ. In October 2002, he joined the AudioVisual Communications Laboratory, Department of Communication Systems, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - EPFL, as a Research Associate, and also the National Competence Center in Research on mobile information and communication systems, a Swiss NSF Research Center, as a Senior Researcher, where he spent around three years. In November 2005, he joined Universidad de Valencia, where he is now an Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) and the Head of the Group of Information and Communication Systems. Dr. Beferull-Lozano ranked first in the Ramón y Cajal Program, a National program of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology for promoting outstanding young investigators. He has been serving on the Technical Program Committee during several years of (among others) the IEEE & ACM International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks, IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing and IEEE International Conference on Image Processing. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and holds the Telefónica Chair (Cátedra Telefónica).
