Dr. Kosai Raoof is currently the head of Licence Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at the University of Joseph Fourier, Grenoble France. He obtained his MSc and Ph.D from Grenoble University in 1990 and 1993 respectively; in 1998 he obtained the Habilitation à Diriger Des Recherches Degree (HDR). He was invited to join Laboratoire des Images et Signaux (LIS) in 1999, to participate in the founding of telecommunication research group. His research interest was first focalized on advanced MIMO systems and joint CDMA synchronization; he studied and introduced polarized diversity MIMO systems in the research group. In 2007 he joined GIPSA-LAB to continue his research on MIMO antenna selection systems.

He is a referee for many international journals and conferences in the field of telecommunications and signal processing. He published more than 50 papers in the field of signal processing. He was granted for European IST Program QTPACK and RNRT French research program ASTURIES in telecommunications in 2004.

He supervised more than 20 Ph.D. and MSc students in different fields of applied signal processing and telecommunications.

 Dr. Raoof was invited professor at Bizerte University-Tunisia, during spring 2007 to 2009.

 He is a chief editor for a new publishing series of advanced telecommunication systems, the first book will be on ‘Advanced MIMO Systems’ to be published by summer 2009. He is also the chief editor of ‘Wireless Sensor Networks’ Journal first published in 2008.

 His recent interest is localization for smart sensor networks and distributed agents.
