Prof. Lajos HanzoLajos Hanzo, received his Masters degree in electronics in 1976 and his Doctorate in 1983 from the Technical University of Budapest. In 2010 he was awarded the university's highest honour, namely the Honorary Doctorate "Doctor Honaris Causa". Since 1986 he has been with the University of Southampton, UK and in 2004 he was awarded the Doctor of Sciences (DSc) degree. During his 46-year career in telecommunications he has held various research and academic posts in Hungary, Germany and the UK. Since 1986 he has been a member of academic staff in the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK, where he currently holds the Chair in Telecommunications and during 2009 - 2012 he was also a Chaired Professor at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Lajos Hanzo has co-authored 19 John Wiley/IEEE Press books totalling about 10 000 pages on mobile radio communications, and published 2000+ research papers and book chapters at IEEE Xplore. He has acted as General Chair of major IEEE conferences, such as WCNC'2006, WCNC'2009, VTC'2011, ICC'13, EUSIPCO'16 and ICASSP'19. He has presented tutorials as well as keynote lectures at international conferences. Lajos is also an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer of both the Communications Society and the Vehicular Society as well as a Fellow of both the IEEE and the IEE/IET, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng). Furthermore, he is a EURASIP Fellow. He is acting as a Governor of the IEEE VTS. During 2009 - 2012 Lajos was the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Press. He has been awarded a number of distinctions, most recently the IEEE Wireless Technical Committee Achievement Award (2007), the IET Sir Monti Finniston Achievement Award across all disciplines of engineering (2008), the ComSoc Radio Communications Award, as well as the ComSoc Signal Pprocessing for Communications Electronics Award. He was bestowed upon an Honorary Doctorate of the Technical University of Budapest (2010) and of the University of Edinburgh (2015). He has been bestowed upon the EURASIP Papoulis Award, the IEEE COMSOC Education Award and the IEEE's Eric Sumner Field Award. His most recent paper awards are: WCNC'2007 in Hong Kong, ICC'2009 Dresden, ICC'2010 Cape Town and GC'2019.

Currently he heads an academic research team working on a range of research projects in the field of wireless multimedia communications aiming for flawless tele-presence, supported by rich three-dimensional audio/video communications. His research is sponsored by industry, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) UK. He is the holder of the European Research Council's Advanced Fellow Award. He has been a member of the the Mobile Virtual Centre of Excellence (VCE), UK since its inception. He is an enthusiastic supporter of industrial and academic liaison and he offers a range of industrial courses.
