Jean-Paul M.G. Linnartz

Jean-Paul M.G. Linnartz is Full Professor in the Signal Processing Systems group at Eindhoven University of Technology and Research Fellow at Signify (Philips Lighting). His research spans optical wireless communications, security systems, and signal processing algorithms.

Key contributions include:

• Pioneering work on LiFi technology and visible light communication systems
• Innovations in biometric security and electronic watermarking
• OFDM and MC-CDMA techniques for wireless networks

Publications show consistent focus on bridging fundamental algorithms with practical applications in lighting and communication systems. Recent work advances LED channel modeling and photonic communication frameworks.

He holds over 75 patents and has co-founded three technology ventures. As Senior Director at Philips Research (1995-2008), he led groups in security, connectivity, and IC design. Honors include IEEE Fellowship (2011) for contributions to communications technology.

Current projects include OptiLiFi (optimizing LiFi communication) and ELIoT (Enhance Lighting for Internet of Things), developing next-generation optical wireless networks.
