David Declercq was born in June 1971. He graduated his PhD in Statistical Signal Processing 1998, from the University of Cergy-Pontoise, France.

He is currently full professor at the ENSEA in Cergy-Pontoise, and is the general secretary of the National GRETSI association, and Senior member of the IEEE. He is currently the recipient of junior position at the "Institut Universitaire de France".

His research topics lie in digital communications and error-correction coding theory. He worked several years on the particular family of LDPC codes, both from the code and decoder design aspects.Since 2003, he developed a strong expertise on non-binary LDPC codes and decoders in high order Galois fields GF(q). A large part of his research projects are related to non-binary LDPC codes. He mainly investigated two directions: the design of GF(q) LDPC codes for short and moderate lengths, and the simplification of the iterative decoders for GF(q) LDPC codes with complexity/performance tradeoff constraints.

David Declercq published more than 35 papers in major journals (IEEE-Trans. Commun., IEEE-Trans. Inf. Theo., Commun. Letters, EURASIP JWCN), and more than 100 papers in major conferences in Information Theory and Signal Processing.

Marc Fossorier's research interests include decoding techniques for linear codes, cryptography, communication algorithms and statistics. Dr. Fossorier became IEEE Fellow in 2006 and he served as Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory from 2003 to 2006, as Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Communications from 1996 to 2003, as Editor for the IEEE Communications Letters from 1999 to 2007, and as Treasurer of the IEEE Information Theory Society from 1999 to 2003.

From 2002 to 2007, he was an elected member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society which he served as Second and First Vice-President. He was Program Co-Chairman for the 2007 International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), the 2000 International Symposium on

Information Theory and Its Applications (ISITA) and Editor for the Proceedings of the 2006, 2003 and 1999 Symposium on Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms

and Error Correcting Codes (AAECC).

Ezio Biglieri received his formal training in Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Torino (Italy), where he received his Dr. Engr. degree in 1967. Before being an Honorary Professor at University Pompeu Fabra, he was a Professor at Università di Napoli (Italy), at Politecnico di Torino (Italy), and at UCLA (USA). He has held visiting positions with Bell Labs (USA), the École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (Paris, France), the University of Sydney (Australia), the Yokohama National University (Japan), Princeton University (USA), the University of South Australia, the Munich Institute of Technology (Germany), the National University of Singapore, the National Taiwan University, the University of Cambridge (U.K.), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), and Monash University Melbourne (Australia). Among other honors, in 2000 he received the IEEE Third-Millennium Medal and the IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award, in 2001 the IEEE Communications Society Edwin Howard Armstrong Achievement Award, in 2004, 2012, and 2015 the Journal of Communications and Networks Best Paper Award, in 2012 the IEEE Information Theory Society Aaron D. Wyner Distinguished Service Award, and in 2021 the IEEE Communications Society Heinrich Hertz Award. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE.
