Joseph
Jean Boutros received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 1992 and the
Ph.D. degree in 1996, both from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des
Télécommunications (ENST, Telecom Paris), Paris, France. From 1996 to 2006, he
was with the Communications and Electronics Department at ENST as an associate
professor. Dr. Boutros also was a member of the research unit UMR-5141 of the
French National Scientific Research Center (CNRS) in Paris. In 2007, Dr.
Boutros joined Texas A&M University at Qatar as a professor in the
Electrical Engineering Program. Dr. Boutros teaches courses in signal
processing, communication theory, probability theory, and computer programming.
His mathematical approach for teaching communication theory is combined with a
strong practical computing component. Dr. Boutros has been a scientific
consultant for Alcatel Space, Philips Research, and Motorola Semiconductors,
and member of the Digital Signal Processing team at Juniper Networks Cable. His
fields of research are codes on graphs, sphere packing and lattices, iterative
decoding, codes for security, and connections between coding theory and other
areas, such as cryptography and machine learning. His research is mainly
performed under grants and tight collaboration with private companies and
public institutions such as Mitsubishi Electric Europe (Rennes, France), Google
Pittsburgh (USA), Nokia Bell-Labs Paris (France), and the Qatar National
Research Fund. Dr. Boutros is a senior member of the IEEE society. He is
co-inventor of 14 industrial patents, including algorithms and techniques in
channel coding and digital communications. In 2019, Dr. Boutros was appointed
holder of the Occidental Petroleum Professorship in STEM Leadership.
