ESAT-STADIUS (STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing, and Data Analytics) is a research unit in the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) (www.esat.kuleuven.be) of KU Leuven (www.kuleuven.be), joining educational and research activities of 12 senior academic staff and 100 PhD and postdoctoral researchers.
ESAT-STADIUS pursues excellence in an explicit and synergistic combination of fundamental and applied research: with core concepts from linear and multi-linear algebra, statistics, optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, its fundamental research is focused on the development of mathematical engineering tools and numerical algorithms. Building upon this foundation, applied research is geared towards putting these tools and algorithms into motion in order to advance the current state of technology across a wide range of relevant application fields, including industrial automation and control, speech and audio signal processing, digital communications, biomedical data analysis and signal processing, bioinformatics and systems biology.
ESAT-STADIUS attracts competitive research funding through regional, national and European funding channels, such as the European Research Council ERC (currently Advanced, Consolidator and Starting Grants) (www.esat.kuleuven.be/stadius/projects.php). In addition, ESAT-STADIUS has a large number of collaborative projects with industry, which has also resulted in several spin-offs (www.esat.kuleuven.be/stadius/spinoffs.php ).
