Catherine Rosenberg
Biography
Catherine Rosenberg is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. She is a Cisco Research Chair in 5G Systems (since 2018) and a former Canada Research Chair holder in the Future Internet (June 2010 to June 2024).
Dr. Rosenberg began her career at ALCATEL in France, and then at AT&T Bell Labs, USA. From 1988-1996, she was a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at École Polytechnique, Montreal, Canada. In 1996, she joined Nortel Networks in the UK where she created and headed the R&D Department in Broadband Satellite Networking. In August 1999, Dr. Rosenberg became a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University where she co-founded in May 2002 the Center for Wireless Systems and Applications (CWSA). She joined the University of Waterloo in September 2004 as the Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for a three-year term.
Catherine Rosenberg was on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Orange Group (France-Telecom) from 2007 to mid 2015. She became its president from January 2013 to mid 2015. She is currently the president of the Scientific Advisory Board of the French IRT (Research and Technology Institute) BCOM on multimedia and networking (since 2014). She is also on the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the IEEE.
She is an IEEE Fellow and was elected a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 2013.
She has authored over 200 papers on wireless networking, traffic engineering and energy systems, and has been granted eight US patents.
