I was born in Porrentruy, Jura, Switzerland, and spent the first 20 to 25 years of my life around that place doing all sorts of stuff.

Then in 1999, after finishing my undergraduate studies at the ETHZ in Zurich, I challenged myself to go and study overseas for a while. That turned out to work pretty well as I spent about 5 years at the ANU in Canberra, followed by a 3 year postdoc with WATRI in Perth, Australia, and I am now holding a permanent position of Research Scientist with CSIRO, also in Western Australia. On March 23, 2009, I also officially became a citizen of Australia.

The best way to describe myself is probably as a chronic perfectionist who enjoys cooking, playing pool (billiards), swimming, horse riding, and playing guitar and didgeridoo, among lots of other things. One way or another, I also grew up to become a fanatical addict of LaTeX, Linux, and the Calvin & Hobbes comic strips.

Eric Lehmann graduated in 1999 from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), Switzerland, with a Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Master equivalent). He received the M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees, both in Electrical Engineering, from the Australian National University (Canberra) in 2000 and 2004 respectively.
Between 2004 and 2008, he held various research positions with National ICT Australia (NICTA) in Canberra, ACT, as well as the Western Australian Telecommunications Research Institute (WATRI) in Perth, WA. He is now working as a Research Scientist for the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in Perth, within the division of Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics.
His current scientific interests include various aspects of signal processing (including acoustics, remote sensing, speech, array and image processing), statistical methods for data integration, as well as Bayesian estimation and tracking (with particular emphasis on the application of sequential Monte Carlo methods, i.e., particle filters).
