Rate My Professor Michael Honig

Honig’s research focuses on communications, signal processing, and networks, with recent work emphasizing wireless resource allocation, spectrum access rights and market mechanisms, interference mitigation, dynamic spectrum allocation, and macroeconomic modeling. He directs the Communications and Networking Laboratory at Northwestern University, developing algorithms and prototypes for advanced wireless networks. Key publications include “Blind Adaptive Multiuser Detection” (IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1995, with U. Madhow and S. Verdú) and “Performance of Reduced-Rank Linear Interference Suppression” (with W. Xiao, awarded the 2002 IEEE Communications Society and Information Theory Society Joint Paper Award). He is co-recipient of the 2010 IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award. An IEEE Fellow and recipient of the Humboldt Research Award for Senior U.S. Scientists, Honig has served as Editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (1998–2000) and IEEE Transactions on Communications (1990–1995), guest editor for multiple journals, member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society’s Digital Signal Processing Technical Committee, and Board of Governors member for the IEEE Information Theory Society (1997–2002). His scholarship is evidenced by over 18,900 citations and an h-index of 62.
