After research and teaching positions at TUT, he was a Design Manager with Nokia Research Center and Noia Consumer Electronics from 1988 to 1991. Since 1992, he has been a Professor with the Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, TUT, where he was Department Head from 1992 to 2010. Dr. Renfors is a Fellow of IEEE and recipient of the 1987 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society's Guillemin-Cauer Award (together with Tapio Saramäki). He has authored 80 papers in refereed journals, about 330 papers in conferences with review practice, and two patents. Dr. Renfors was an Associate Editor of IEEE Signal Processing Letters in 2006-2010. Currently he is a Senior Area Editor of IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and a member of the Editorial Board of EURASIP Signal Processing journal. He has served in the conference organization committees of ISCAS 1988, EUSIPCO 2000, ICC 2001, PIMRC 2006, SPAWC 2007, and SiPS 2009. He has supervised 18 doctoral dissertations. His research interests include multirate filtering and filter banks, especially with applications in advanced multicarrier and single-carrier waveforms, software defined radio, and algorithms for flexible communications receivers and transmitters. He has actively participated in the EU FP7 projects PHYDYAS and EMPhAtiC developing FBMC techniques especially for cognitive radio and heterogeneous fragmented spectrum use scenarios.
