The Latest News, Articles, and Events in Signal Processing

The IEEE annual election begins on 16 August and ends on 1 October. All ballots must be received by 12:00 p.m. EDT USA/16:00 UTC. The IEEE Signal Processing Society is committed to ensuring that its members are prepared with sufficient information about the candidates in order to make their best informed decision. 

Selin Aviyente received her B.S. degree with high honors in Electrical and Electronics engineering from Bogazici University, Istanbul in 1997. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, both in Electrical Engineering: Systems, from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1999 and 2002, respectively. She joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University in 2002, where she is currently a Professor and Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies. 

FAPESP

This position focuses on detecting and forecasting floods using images and thus automating flood identification without human intervention. With such an approach, it will be possible to use only the cameras without a river height sensor submerged in the river. Applicants must have completed, or are nearing completion, a doctorate in Computer Science or related subjects in the past five years. 

Accurate channel estimation is a major challenge in the next generation of wireless communication networks. To fully exploit setups with many antennas, estimation errors must be kept small. This can be achieved by exploiting the structure inherent in the channel vectors. For example, line-of-sight paths result in highly correlated channel coefficients.

Weizmann Institute of Science

Joint postdoc position between Princeton University and the Weizmann Institute at the intersection of communications, signal processing and machine learning. The work will be performed with the groups of Prof. Andrea Goldsmith and Prof. Yonina Eldar. The candidate is expected to work with both teams in collaborative and supportive environments, with the location flexible between the two centers.

Universität Hamburg

The Signal Processing (SP) research group at the Universität Hamburg in Germany is hiring a Postdoc (E13/E14) "Machine Learning for Speech and Audio Processing".

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine
This issue of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine is mainly focused on neurorehabilitation and assistive technologies. For a few decades, microelectronics, signal processing, robotics, and computer science have been the driver of many scientific and technological advances, with applications in many domains, including health.
IEEE Signal Processing Magazine
This article reviews technologies and algorithms for decoding volitional movement intent using bioelectrical signals recorded from the human body. Such signals include electromyograms, electroencephalograms, electrocorticograms, intracortical recordings, and electroneurograms. After reviewing signal features commonly used for interpreting movement intent, this article describes traditional movement decoders based on Kalman filters (KFs) and machine learning (ML). 
IEEE Signal Processing Magazine
Prostheses provide a means for individuals with amputations to regain some of the lost functions of their amputated limb. Human-machine interfaces (HMIs), used for controlling prosthetic devices, play a critical role in users' experiences with prostheses. This review article provides an overview of the HMIs commonly adopted for upper-limb prosthesis control and inspects collected signals and their processing methods.
IEEE Signal Processing Magazine
During the last few decades, the number of seniors over the age of 60 has increased significantly. A recent study from the United Nations has shown that the number of people aged 65 years or over will increase from 727 million in 2020 to 1.5 billion by 2050. Consequently, the proportion of the global population aged 65 years or over will increase from 9.3% in 2020 to 16% in 2050. 

The following volunteers have been named Editors-in-Chief of IEEE Signal Processing Society publications. The term for these Editors-in-Chief will run from 1 January 2022 through 31 December 2024.
