Peter (Petre) Stoica [1] (born 23 July 1949) is a researcher and educator in the field of signal processing and its applications to radar/sonar, communications and bio-medicine. [2] [3] [4] He is a professor of Signals and Systems Modeling at Uppsala University in Sweden, and a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, the United States National Academy of Engineering (International Member), the Romanian Academy (Honorary Member), [5] the European Academy of Sciences , [6] and the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala. He is also a Fellow of IEEE, [7] EURASIP, [8] IETI, [9] and the Royal Statistical Society.
Born in Râmnicu Vâlcea, Stoica completed his secondary studies in his native city, after which he went to Bucharest, where he attended from 1967 to 1972 the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Science of Politehnica University of Bucharest. In 1979, he obtained the title of Doctor of Engineering in the automatic control specialty, with the thesis "Identification of Systems", and then became a professor at Politehnica University. [10]
He is known for his theoretical contributions to system identification and modeling, spectral analysis, array signal processing, space-time coding, and waveform design for active sensing. His practical contributions include the areas of wireless communications, microwave imaging for breast cancer detection, radar/sonar systems, acoustic source mapping, landmine and explosive detection, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. His books on System Identification, Spectral Analysis, and Space-Time Coding for Wireless Communications have been used in both undergraduate and graduate courses and are highly cited (his works rank in the top 1% by citations for the field of engineering). [11] He has been included on the ISI list of the 250 most highly cited researchers in engineering in the world. [12] [13]
