Sabine Van Huffel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sabine J. A. Van Huffel (born 26 September 1958) is a Belgian computer scientist, applied mathematician, and electrical engineer, whose research concerns computational methods for medical diagnostics, and in particular methods based on total least squares.

Education and career[edit]

Van Huffel was born in Menen. She earned bachelor's and doctoral degrees from KU Leuven in 1981 and 1987,[1] with Joos Vandewalle as her doctoral advisor. Her dissertation, Analysis of the Total Least Squares Problem and its use in parameter estimation, concerned total least squares methods for parameter estimation.[2]

She is a full professor at KU Leuven since 2002 .[1] and a Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) since 2014 (until 2022).[3]

Book[edit]

With Vandewalle, Van Huffel is the author of the book The Total Least Squares Problem: Computational Aspects and Analysis (SIAM, 1991).[4][5]

Recognition[edit]

Van Huffel is a fellow of the IEEE and the recipient of an honorary doctorate from TU/e.[6] In 2016 she was elected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for esteemed accomplishments in bridging the gap between advanced numerical linear algebra techniques and biomedical signal processing".[7] She was elected to the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts in 2017.[8]
