He is affiliated with the Program of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering at COPPE/Poli, UFRJ. He has authored or co-authored over 350 refereed articles in journals and conferences and the following textbooks: Online Learning and Adaptive Filters (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, 2021, with M. L. Campos, W. A. Martins, M. V. S. Lima, and J. A. Apolinário Jr.), Adaptive Filtering: Algorithms and Practical Implementation (NY: Springer, Fifth Edition, 2020), and Digital Signal Processing: System Analysis and Design (Cambridge, U.K.: Cambridge University Press, Second Edition, 2010, with E. A. B. da Silva and S. L. Netto); and the monographs Block Transceivers: OFDM and Beyond (NY, Springer, 2012, with W. A. Martins and M. V. S. Lima) and Online Component Analysis, Architectures and Applications (Deft, NOW Publishers, 2022, with J. B. O. Souza Filho, L.-D. Van, and T.-P. Jung). His teaching and research interests include signal processing, online learning, adaptive signal processing, digital communications, wireless communications, stochastic processes, and electronic circuits. Dr. Diniz is a fellow of EURASIP. He is also a member of the National Academy of Engineering (ANE) and the Brazilian Academy of Science (ABC). He received the 2014 Charles Desoer Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society. He also received some best paper awards from conferences and IEEE journals. In 2024, he received the Carl Friedrich Gauss Education Award from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He was an Associate Editor of several journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems and the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and has also served as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Circuits and Systems and Signal Processing Societies.

Yih-Fang Huang (Life Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S.E.E. degree from the National Taiwan University, the M.S.E.E. degree from the University of Notre Dame, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the Princeton University. He is Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. At the University of Notre Dame, he served as Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering from 1998 to 2006, and as Senior Associate Dean for Education and Undergraduate Programs in the College of Engineering from 2013 to 2023. In Spring 1993, he received the Toshiba Fellowship and was a Toshiba Visiting Professor at Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. From April to July 2007, he was a Visiting Professor at Munich University of Technology, Munich, Germany. In Fall 2007, he was awarded the Fulbright-Nokia scholarship for lectures/research at the Helsinki University of Technology, Finland. His research interests focus on theory and applications of statistical signal processing, and adaptive signal processing. Prof. Huang received the Golden Jubilee Medal of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in 1999, served as the Vice President for Publications in 1997-98 and was a Distinguished Lecturer for the same society in 2000-2001.
