About Wilfried Philips.

Wilfried Philips was born in Aalst, Belgium on October 19, 1966. In 1989, he received the Diploma degree in electrical engineering from the University of Gent, Belgium. Since October 1989 he has been working at the Department of Electronics and Information Systems of Ghent University, as a research assistant for the Flemish Fund for Scientific Research (FWO). In 1993 he obtained the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Ghent university, Belgium.

His main research interests are image and video restoration, image analysis, and lossless and lossy data compression of images and video and processing of multimedia data.

Recent activities

W. Philips is the leader of Ghent University's research group "Image Processing and Interpretation". He is also co-founder of the company Senso2Me which was founded in 2015. The company focuses on Internet of Things hardware and software solutions. The main application is elderly home care.
