Claude Oestges received the Electrical Engineering degree and the PhD degree in Applied Science from the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium), in 1996 and 2000, respectively.

From 1996 to 2000, he was an Assistant Lecturer in the Microwave Laboratory UCL, with lectures in electromagnetics, wireless communications and microwave engineering. His doctoral research dealt with propagation models and performance prediction methods for LEO satellite and High-Altitude-Platform (HAP) networks. In 1997, he spent two months at the Centre for Communication Systems Research, University of Surrey (UK). He was also involved in the European COST 255 Action "Radiowave propagation modeling for new SatCom services at Ku-band and above".

From January to December 2001, Claude Oestges joined, as a post-doctoral scholar, the Smart Antennas Research Group (Information Systems Laboratory) of Stanford University (California , USA). He was involved in the development of MIMO multi-polarized channel models for broadband wireless access in the field of G2 MMDS technology (with Sprint, Inc.).

From October 2001 to September 2005, Claude Oestges was a post-doctoral fellow of the Belgian National Science Foundation (Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique, FRS-FNRS), associated with the Microwave Laboratory UCL. Meanwhile, he carried out several short-term missions at Stanford University, and took part in COST 273 "Towards mobile broadband multimedia networks", in NEWCOM Network of Excellence and in the IEEE 802.11 Standardization Working Group on "Multiple antenna channel modeling".

Since October 2005, Claude Oestges is Associate Professor at UCL and FRS-FNRS Research Associate. His research interests cover wireless and satellite communications, with a focus on the propagation channel and its impact on system performance. His present activity concerns multi-dimensional channel modeling for wireless communications, including MIMO and cooperative networks, UWB systems and satellite systems. He was chairing the Working Group on "Reference channel modeling" in COST 2100 "Pervasive Mobile & Ambient Wireless Communications" and was active in NEWCOM Network of Excellence. He is now chairing the Working Group on "Radio Channels" in COST IC1004 "Cooperative Radio Communications for Green Smart Environments ".

Claude Oestges currently serves as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and the EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking. He is the author or co-author of three books, and more than 150 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. He was the recipient of the IET Marconi Premium Award in 2001 and the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Neal Shepherd Award in 2004.
