Personal profile
Academic background
Dr. Wim Korevaar is a part-time university researcher at the Signal Processing Systems (SPS) Group. In addition to his work at the TU/e, he works at the Dutch Applied research institute TNO as a senior telecommunications system engineer in the optical satellite communications program. At TNO, he designs and develops optical and quantum satellite communication systems for ground-to-satellite and satellite-to-satellite communications. His main interests are in end-to-end system performance analysis, modem designs & signal processing. He is contributing to the standardization of space optical communication systems at the CCSDS and ESA. Wim received his PhD, cum laude, for his work on Hermite-based multi-user communication schemes, as an alternative to Fourier-based communication schemes. During his studies he founded two companies, which were acquired in 2007 and 2019, respectively. Wim is passionate to work with students and colleagues on ground-breaking ideas for the next generation of communication systems and to foster fruitful collaborations between academia, applied research institutes and the industry.
