André L. F. de Almeida is a professor in the Department of Teleinformatics Engineering at the Federal University of Ceará in Brazil. In 2007, he received dual Ph.D.s in Science and Teleinformatics Engineering from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France and the Federal University of Ceará in Brazil. He has been awarded multiple visiting professor positions at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis in France (2012–2013, 2018–2019, and 2022–2024). His research interests include signal processing for communications, sensor
arrays, multichannel processing, multilinear algebra, and wireless communication networks. A significant portion of his research has focused on tensor decompositions with applications to wireless communications. He has published over 300 papers in journals and at conferences, six book chapters, and is a co-inventor of seven international patents.
Prof. Almeida is currently a Senior Area Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and a Senior Area Editor for the IEEE Signal Processing Letters. He is an elected member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Signal Processing Theory and Methods (SPTM) Technical Committee (2022–2024) and of the EURASIP Signal Processing for Multi-Sensor Systems Technical Area Committee (SPMuS TAC) (2016–2018 and 2019–2022). He currently serves as the TAC Chair of the SPMuS TAC. Prof. Almeida has also served as an associate editor for several journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (2012–2016), IEEE Signal Processing Letters (2016–2020), and IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (2020–2022). Prof. Almeida also served on the IEEE SPS Sensor Array and Multichannel (SAM) Technical Committee for two terms (2015–2018 and 2018–2021). From 2022 to 2023, he served as the IEEE SPS Director-at-Large for Regions 7 and 9. In January 2025, he was appointed Chief Editor of the IEEE SPS SigPort (2025–2027).
He has been involved in organizing and chairing several IEEE SPS conferences. In particular, he was the general co-chair of the 2017 IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP'2017); technical co-chair of the IEEE GlobalSIP'2018 and IEEE GlobalSIP'2019 symposia on tensor methods for signal processing and machine learning; technical co-chair of the 11th IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM'2020); and general co-chair of the 2023 IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing (CAMSAP'2023). He is a research fellow of the CNPq (the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development).
Prof. Almeida is a co-recipient of the 2018 IET Communications Premium Best Paper Award (2018) and a co-recipient of the 2022 IET Signal Processing Premium Best Paper Award (2022). He also received the Best Paper Award at the 19th IEEE International Conference on OFDM and Frequency Domain Techniques in 2016, the WCNPS'2022 Best Paper Award, and Best Paper Awards at the 35th and 38th Brazilian Symposiums on Telecommunications and Signal Processing in 2020 and 2023, respectively. In 2018, Prof. Almeida was elected a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
