37 SPS MEMBERS ELEVATED TO FELLOW

Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors confers the grade of Fellow on up to one-tenth of one percent of the voting members. To qualify for consideration, an individual must have been a Member, normally for five years or more, and a Senior Member at the time for nomination to Fellow. The grade of Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in IEEE’s designated fields.

The Signal Processing Society congratulates the following 37 SPS members who were recognized with the grade of Fellow as of 1 January 2020:

Paavo Alku, for contributions to analysis, synthesis and quality improvement of speech signals.

Adel Belouchrani, for contributions to blind source separation and to non-stationary signal and array processing.

Sen-Ching Cheung, for contributions to multimedia data processing and their applications in autism interventions.

Chong-Yung Chi, for contributions to convex analysis and optimization for blind source separation.

Wan Choi, for contributions to the analysis and design of multi-cell communication systems.

Zhiguo Ding, for contributions to non-orthogonal multiple access and energy harvesting communication.

Octavia Dobre, for contributions to the theory and practice of signal intelligence and emerging wireless technologies.
