Norman Beaulieu is a world renown researcher in the analysis and modeling of wireless communications systems. Among a number of groundbreaking contributions on diverse fronts, international researchers use his ingenious mathematical method dubbed the "Beaulieu series" to calculate outage, coverage, interference and error rates in wireless communications systems. Dr. Beaulieu served as the only resident Canadian of the world's leading communications research journal, the IEEE Transactions on Communications, founded the iCORE Wireless Communications Laboratory, which has made Alberta a world leading wireless research centre and has served many years as the President of the Canadian Society for Information Theory.
