The Signal Processing Society (SPS) has 12 Technical Committee that support a broad selection of signal processing-related activities defined by the scope of the Society.

This issue brings to you our interview with Dr. Behrooz Makki [M’19, SM’19]. Behrooz received his Ph.D. degree in Communication Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2013-2017, he was a Postdoc researcher at Chalmers University.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) would like to express our concern and support for the members of our global community and all affected by the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Are you looking to energize signal processing students, early stage researchers, and industry practitioners? Consider hosting a virtual Seasonal School for young engineers!

IEEE SPS has built a streamlined mechanism for employers to add a job announcement by simply filling in a simple job opportunity submission Web form related to a particular TC field. To submit job announcements for a particular Technical Committee, the submission form can be found by visiting the page below and selecting a particular TC.

A reminder that chapter events and officer reporting need to be updated in vTools <http://vtools.ieee.org&gt; throughout the year.  This will ensure that current data is on file and that your chapter activity is accurately recorded.  All units are encouraged to try to hold at least virtual meetings, if possible, to show that the unit is active.

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership of the IEEE. It honors members with an outstanding record of technical achievements, contributing importantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science and technology, and bringing significant value to society.

In this issue, we interviewed Dr. Anubha Gupta. Anubha received her PhD. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, India in 2006 in Electrical Engineering. She did her second Master's as a full-time student from the University of Maryland, College Park, the USA from 2008-2010 in Education with a concentration: Higher Education Leadership and Policy Studies.

Dr. Namrata Vaswani is the Anderlik Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Iowa State University. She received a Ph.D. in 2004 from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a B.Tech. from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Delhi) in India in 1999. Her research interests lie in data science, with a particular focus on statistical Machine Learning, Statistical Signal Processing, and Computer Vision.
