Biography
Sarah Kate Wilson worked in industry from 1979 to 1989, first as a Programmer/Analyst and then as a Research Engineer. From 1994 to 1999, she was an Asst. Professor of Electrical Engineering at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, and then at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) in Luleå, Sweden. In August 2000, she was awarded the title Docent in Signal processing. She returned to industry in Silicon Valley as a communications engineer, working for Agilent and ArrayComm. She returned to Sweden as a guest researcher at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm from 2003-2004. She has served as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Transactions on Communications and the Journal of Communications and Networks. She is currently the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Communications Letters. Starting January 1, 2010, she will be a member-at-large of the IEEE Communications Society Board of Governors.
Current Research Interests
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), Optical Wireless OFDM, Scheduling in Multiuser Packet Networks.
