Chief Scientist Tomas Gaensler received his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (1990) and the Ph.D. degree (1996) in signal processing from Lund University, Lund, Sweden. From 1997 to September 1999 he held a position as an Assistant Professor at Lund University. From 1990 to 1999, Dr. Gaensler served as a lecturer and teacher in numerous graduate and undergraduate courses in signal processing. In 1998 he held a postdoc position at Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies and in October 1999, he joined Bell Labs as a fulltime Member of Technical staff. From 2001 to 2006, he worked at Agere Systems, a spin-off from Lucent Technologies' Microelectronics group. In his professional research career, Dr. Gaensler has worked on various problems in network and acoustic echo cancellation. He contributed to a number of breakthroughs and products such as the first prototypes of stereo acoustic echo cancellers, network echo canceler technologies incorporated into Lucent Technologies' ECPR-5 echo canceler chip, low density echo cancellation algorithms for Agere's network processors. As a member of Agere System’s Mobility business unit, he was responsible for audio architecture and voice processing module design for cell-phone chipsets. He has more than 40 published papers, conference, and workshop contributions. Dr. Gaensler also co-authored the books ``Advances in Network and Acoustic Echo Cancellation,” Springer Verlag, and ``Acoustic Signal Processing for Telecommunication,” Kluwer. .
