Emanuele Viterbo

Professor Emanuele Viterbo is a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering at Monash University, where he has served as Professor since 2010 and Associate Dean (Graduate Research) from 2012 to 2020. His research focuses on error control coding, lattice codes, and algebraic coding theory with applications to wireless communications. He holds a PhD and Laurea in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino.

Key research areas include lattice codes for fading channels, algebraic space-time coding (e.g., Golden Code), and OTFS modulation. He has received prestigious awards such as the IEEE Fellow designation (2011) and the Australia-India Fellowship (2012-13). His work on polar codes and coding for NAND flash memories has advanced practical coding schemes for modern communication systems.

Major grants include projects on blockchain coding, high-mobility wireless systems, and NAND flash memory reliability. He has supervised numerous PhD students and contributed to foundational research in information theory. His affiliations include leadership roles in IEEE committees and visiting research positions at institutions worldwide.

Scientific achievements include pioneering contributions to space-time coding and lattice-based modulation. Current projects explore OTFS modulation, error control for blockchains, and advanced modulation techniques for 5G/6G networks.
