The aim of the present work was to demonstrate the possibility of selective detection of
nanoparticle contrast agents (NPCAs) on diagnostic echographic images by exploiting the …

I thank Johan Schoukens for giving me the opportunity to pursue my PhD at the ELEC
department. I wish to thank all my colleagues for the pleasant work environment, especially …

The thesis investigates the problem of signal parameter estimation with 1-bit ADC. To this
end, in the context of different wireless applications the achievable accuracy for 1-bit ADC …

The aim of this paper was to optimize the employment of a novel algorithm for acquisition
and processing of medical ultrasound (US) signals to facilitate its clinical translation. The …

The postprocessing of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to study the brain
functions deals mainly with two objectives: signal detection and extraction of the …

We discuss the problem of deriving compact and tractable lower bounds for the Fisher
information matrix. To motivate our particular approach towards such expressions, we first …

Determining the quality of sensing devices exhibiting minimal digitization complexity is
addressed. Measurements of such sensor systems are characterized by multivariate binary …

We discuss the problem how to determine the quality of a nonlinear system with respect to a
measurement task. Due to amplification, filtering, quantization and internal noise sources …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a safe non-invasive technique used for
understanding the brain functions against various stimuli and hence to predict the brain …

In the last three decades wireless systems have become an accelerator for the evolution of
the digital age. Today wireless communication systems provide instant access to the internet …
