MSc Signal Processing and Computing

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS, Aalborg

Course Description

The program focuses on theories, methods and algorithms for advanced signal processing applied to a variety of application domains, such as wireless communication, speech recognition, hearing aids, positioning, gaming, audio and video, and health care.

The program aims at bridging the gap between 1) signal processing theories, 2) programming of parallel off-line simulation environments, and 3) real-time hardware/software architectures in order to achieve small physical size, high data throughput, and low energy consumption. Mastering design- and simulation-procedures for advanced signal processing algorithms, and their real-time implementation in resource optimal hardware/software, are all crucial skills for engineers designing state-of-the-art signal processing systems.

You will learn how to make the right decisions in a signal processing design trajectory. Furthermore, you will learn how to improve the interaction between signal processing algorithms and computer architectures, in order to minimize the gap between th ever growing computational complexity and the requirements for smaller physical size and longer battery lifetime.
