Signal sampling and reconstruction is a fundamental engineering task at the heart of signal processing. The celebrated Shannon-Nyquist theorem guarantees perfect signal reconstruction from uniform samples, obtained at a rate twice the maximum frequency present in the signal. 

This issue brings to you our interview with Dr. Abhishek Mahesh Appaji, an active IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Young Professional. I am working as an Institutional Coordinator for R&D and Assistant Professor at B.M.S. College of Engineering, Bengaluru, India. I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering in Medical Electronics with University Rank from BMSCE, and a Masters of Engineering (M.E) in Bioinformatics from University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering, Bangalore.

Dr. Behnaz Ghoraani is an Associate Professor and the founder and director of the Biomedical Signal and Image Analysis lab at the Department of Computer & Electrical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Before joining FAU, she was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology (2012-2016).

EEE Signal Processing Society Vice President-Education Shrikanth (Shri) S. Narayanan invites nominations for the positions of Chief Editor, Signal Processing Repository (SigPort) and Chief Editor, Resource Center for a 3-year term starting 1 January 2022. Nominations must be received no later than 5 April 2021.

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) invites nominations for the position of Editor-in-Chief for the following journals: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging, IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, and IEEE Transactions on Signal and Information Processing over Networks for a 3-year term starting 1 January 2022.

Nominations are due 15 January annually for the IEEE Technical Field Awards (TFAs). Download nomination forms and award-specific criteria.

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 IEEE Signal Processing Society Delhi Chapter has been selected as the recipient of the 2020 Chapter of the Year Award! The Chapter of the Year Award will be presented at the ICASSP 2021 Awards Ceremony in Toronto, Canada. 

This IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) Chapter Certification program is now accepting applications for review in 2021. This is open to all Chapters who are not currently certified, or whose certification will end on 31 December 2021.

Did you know the Society offers funding under the Member Driven Initiatives program for events that encourage involvement by SPS membership, including local chapters, universities, industry members as well as individual members?
