The Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announces
that Alan
V. Oppenheim, Ford Professor of Engineering
and Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow, is the 2005 recipient
of the Signal Processing Education Award of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Signal
Processing Society. The Award honors educators who
have made pioneering and significant contributions
to signal processing education. In particular, the
Award celebrates careers of meritorious achievement
in signal processing education as exemplified by writing
of scholarly books and texts, course materials, and
papers on education; inspirational and innovative teaching;
and creativity in the development of new curricula
and methodology
Jeffrey H.
Shapiro, RLE Director and Julius A. Stratton
Professor of Electrical Engineering, said, "It
is hard to imagine anyone in the field who could be
more deserving of this honor," noting that, "Professor
Oppenheim has been one of the leading lights of RLE
and EECS during his long career of scientific and educational
achievements at MIT. Generations of his students have
gone on to be leaders in their own right in both academia
and industry."
Professor Oppenheim joined the MIT faculty in 1964.
Since 1967, he has also been affiliated with MIT Lincoln
Laboratory and since 1977 with the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution. He leads the Digital
Signal Processing Group in RLE. His research interests are in the general
area of signal processing and its applications. He
is co-author of the widely used textbooks "Discrete-Time
Signal Processing" and "Signals and Systems." He
is also editor of several advanced books on signal
processing.
The Award will be presented to Professor Oppenheim
at the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics,
Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP) to be held Toulouse,
France in May 2006.
