Encyclopedia
A.J. Han Vinck is a professor in Digital Communications at the University of Essen since 1990.
He studied electrical engineering at the University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1980.
From 1991-1993, 1998–2000, 2006–2008, he was the director of the Institute for Experimental Mathematics in Essen.
Vinck was the director (1997–1999) of the Post-Graduate School on Networking, "CINEMA".
From 2000-2004 he was the chairman for the communication division of the Institute for Critical Infrastructures (CRIS).
He currently holds a chair for Digital Communications at the Institute for Experimental Mathematics
at the University of Duisburg-Essen
, campus Essen.
In 2006 he received the IEEE ISPLC2006 Achievement award in Orlando (FL, USA) for his contributions to Power Line Communications and for facilitating the transition of ISPLC to a fully financially and technically sponsored IEEE Communications Society
conference.
The SA-IEE annual award was presented to him for the best paper published in the SA-IEE Africa Research Journal in the year 2008.
Professor Vinck served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Information Theory Society
from 1997 until 2006. In 2003 he was elected president of the IEEE Information theory Society.
Vinck was founding Chairman (1995–1998) of the IEEE German Information Theory chapter. IEEE elected him in 2006 as a fellow for his “Contributions to Coding Techniques”. He is co-founder and president of the Shannon Foundation and the Gauß Foundation . These foundations stimulate research and help young scientists in the field of Information theory and Digital Communications.
He is a distinguished lecturer for the Information theory
as well as for the Communications society of the IEEE.

Information theory
Information theory is a branch of applied mathematics and electrical engineering involving the quantification of information. Information theory was developed by Claude E. Shannon to find fundamental limits on signal processing operations such as compressing data and on reliably storing and...
