Biography
Per Ola Börjesson, Professor
Per Ola Börjesson was born in Karlshamn, Sweden in 1945. He received his M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering in 1970 and his Ph.D. degree in telecommunication theory in 1980, both from Lund Institute of Technology (LTH), Lund, Sweden. In 1983 he received the degree of Docent in Telecommunication Theory. In the period of 1988-1998 he was Professor of Signal Processing at Luleä University of Technology (LTU), and since 1998 he is Professor of Signal Processing at Lund University.
His primary research interest is in high performance communication systems, in particular, high data rate wireless and twisted pair systems. He is presently researching signal processing techniques in communication systems that use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) or Discrete Multitone (DMT) Modulation. He emphasizes the interaction between models and real systems, from the creation of application-oriented models based on system knowledge to the implementation and evaluation of algorithms.
