Geir Egil Øien (Oien) was born in Trondheim, Norway in 1965. He received the MScEE and the PhD degrees, both from the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) in Trondheim, Norway, respectively in 1989 and 1993. From 1994 to 1996 he was an Associate Professor with Stavanger University College in Stavanger, Norway. In 1996, he joined NTNU as an Associate Professor, and in 2001 was promoted to Full Professor. During the academic year 2005-2006 he was visiting professor with Institut Eurécom in Sophia-Antipolis, France. From August 2009 to August 2013 he will be on leave from his professorship in order to serve as Faculty Dean of NTNU’s Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics, and Electrical Engineering.

Prof. Øien is the author or co-author of more than 110 scientific publications in refereed international fora (for full list sorted by year, see end of page). He currently supervises or co-supervises 12 PhD students, and has formerly graduated 9 PhD students (for full list, see below). He participates in, manages, and/or coordinates a number of national and international projects and networks of collaboration (for list, see below). His current research interests are in communication theory, information theory, and signal processing for wireless communications and sensor networks, with particular emphasis on link adaptation, power control, radio resource allocation, dynamic spectrum sharing, interference management, access schemes, and cross-layer design.
