Curriculum Vitae

Thomas Sikora is professor and director of the Communication Systems Group (in German: Fachgebiet Nachrichtenübertragung) at Technische Universität Berlin, Germany.

He received the Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from Bremen University, Bremen, Germany, in 1985 and 1989, respectively. In 1990, he joined Siemens Ltd. and Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, as a Project Leader responsible for video compression research activities in the Australian Universal Broadband Video Codec consortium. Between 1994 and 2001, he was the Director of the Interactive Media Department, Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) Berlin GmbH, Germany. Dr. Sikora is co-founder of 2SK Media Technologies and Vis-a-Pix GmbH, two Berlin-based start-up companies involved in research and development of audio and video signal processing and compression technology.

Dr. Sikora has been involved in international ITU and ISO standardization activities as well as in several European research activities for a number of years. As the Chairman of the ISO-MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) video group, he was responsible for the development and standardization of the MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 video algorithms. He also served as the chairman of the European COST 211ter video compression research group. He was appointed as Research Chair for the VISNET and 3DTV European Networks of Excellence. He is an Appointed Member of the Advisory and Supervisory board of a number of German companies and international research organizations. He frequently works as an industry consultant on issues related to interactive digital audio and video.

Dr. Sikora is a Member of the German Society for Information Technology (ITG) and a recipient of the 1996 ITG Award. He has published more than 150 papers related to audio and video processing. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology. From 1998 to 2002, he was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. He is an Advisory Editor for the EURASIP Signal Processing: Image Communication journal and was an Associate Editor of the EURASIP Signal Processing journal.
