Kurt Barbé

Biography

Kurt Barbé (S’05-M’09-SM’16) received the Master degree in Mathematics and the PhD degree in engineering from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Brussels, Belgium, in 2005 and 2009 respectively. Presently, he is a professor at the VUB at the faculty of Medicine. He is furthermore a co-founder of the research group Digital Mathematics (DIMA) holding a strong expertise in applied mathematics for engineering sciences and beyond. At VUB, he is the founder of the interfaculty centre for data-processing and statistics providing statistical and methodological support to the university community at large. Dr. Barbé is a former research fellow of the Flemish Research Foundation (FWO) and VUB-coordinator of FLAMES – the Flemish inter-university training network on research methodology and statistics. His current research interest is in the field of numerical methods and computational statistics applied to biomedicine.

Dr. Barbé has served as an Associate Editor since 2010 and Associate Editor in Chief in 2018-2019 for the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement. Since 2017 he has served as secretary of the royal Belgian statistical society. Finally, since 2019 he has joined the editorial board for the journal Fractal and Fractional as well as Sensors. He was a recipient of the Outstanding Young Engineer Award from the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society in 2011 and the Andi Chi Best Paper Award of the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement in 2013. Two PhD students received the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Graduate Fellowship award under his supervision in 2012 and 2017.

Branislav Djokic

Biography

Branislav Djokić (IEEE M’90-SM’97) received Dipl.Ing. degrees in Power Systems Engineering in 1981, in Electronics in 1984, M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1988 and 1993, respectively, from the University of Belgrade, Serbia. From 1982-1990, he was with R&D Institute Mihajlo Pupin, Belgrade. From 1990-1994 he was a Staff Member of the School of Electrical Engineering, Belgrade University. In 1994 he joined the Institute for National Measurement Standards, National Research Council of Canada. Dr. Djokić is a registered Professional Engineer in the Province of Ontario. He is IEEE PES Emerging Technologies Coordinating Committee Vice-Chair, IEEE Canada Other-Societies Committee Chair, IEEE Ottawa Section Educational Activities Chair and past Section Chair. In 2007, he received IEEE Regional Activities Board (RAB) Award for leadership in support of IEEE Ottawa Section. At NCSLI 2008, he received the best paper award in the international track for his paper on the calibration of Rogowski coils. His area of expertise is: new instrumentation and measurement methods for both highest-accuracy and industrial applications for AC electrical power, energy, high voltage, and high current, including calibration of Rogowski coils, which are widely used for measurements of large and transient AC currents in protective relaying, power and automotive industries, and plasma physics.
