Dr. Yimin D. Zhang, Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Temple University, has been named a Fellow of the European Association for Signal Processing (EURASIP), “for contributions to sparse array design and processing.
To recognize outstanding achievements in the broad field of Signal Processing, EURASIP elevates each year a select group of up to four scholars to the grade of “EURASIP Fellow,” the Association’s most prestigious honor.
Dr. Zhang has made significant contributions to sparse array design and processing for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, adaptive beamforming, and parameter estimation, with applications in radar and wireless communications. He has published over 450 papers, 20 book chapters, and 2 edited books, and his work has received more than 19,000 citations according to Google Scholar. His research has had a profound impact on array signal processing and has enabled numerous innovative applications.
Dr. Zhang has been actively involved in EURASIP activities. He has served as an Editor for Signal Processing since 2008 and is an elected member of EURASIP Signal Processing for Multisensor Systems (SPMuS) Technical Area Committee. He received the EURASIP Best Paper Award for Signal Processing for his paper “DOA estimation exploiting a uniform linear array with multiple co-prime frequencies,” published in Signal Processing in 2017. In 2025, he delivered a tutorial titled “Sparse Arrays and Sparse Waveforms: Design, Processing, and Applications” at the European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), as well as a keynote talk, “Harnessing Frequency Diversity for Enhanced Direction-of-Arrival Estimation,” at the EUSIPCO Workshop on Signal Processing for Autonomous Systems. He currently serves as an Academy Mentor for the EURASIP Academy.
