News and Resources for Members of the IEEE Signal Processing Society

Society News

In an effort to increase signal processing awareness among the general public, the IEEE Signal Processing Society has created a video to answer, in layman’s terms, the simple question: What is signal processing? Check out the video below to see the many ways in which signal processing technologies surround us in our everyday lives, allowing us to interact with ourselves, one another, and the world. Learn how communications and entertainment, security and healthcare, are all made easier, safer, accessible, and possible because of signal processing technologies. Watch the video and share!

In this series we aim to introduce society members and other experts of the signal processing field by means of interviews. This month, we are happy to present the Dr. Ercan E. Kuruoglu, Senior Researcher from ISTI-CNR Pisa, Italy.

Dear Members,

- Are you an IEEE member, IEEE student member, IEEE graduate student member or IEEE young professional member?

- Do you know one or more 12-18 year old students from within your family, friendship circle, or local school who is
interested in engineering, computing, or technology?

- Do you want to help students inspire others to learn more about these disciplines by creating an animation?

Mentor one or more students today in the IEEE Spark Innovation through Animation Competition!

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. Around this time (end of November), the new class of IEEE Fellows is announced. Hopefully, the list contains many names familiar to you. If not, then perhaps it is a good idea to nominate someone yourself!

The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) appointed several new Chairs for committees that report to the Membership Board. The appointments are as follows:

The following SPS Distinguished lectures will be held in the upcoming months

In this series we introduce a member of our Society by means of an interview. This month, we are happy to introduce Neil Wachowski from Colorade State University, who recently finished his PhD thesis, "Characterization of Multiple Time-Varying Transient Sources from Multivariate Data Sequences.”

Three new Members-at-Large will take their seats on the Signal Processing Society Board of Governors beginning 1 January 2015 and will serve until 31 December 2017. Nine candidates competed for the three Member-at-Large positions. The successful candidates represent a broad spectrum of the Signal Processing Society. The Board of Governors will confirm the election results at their December Board meeting.

IEEE Sections Congress 2014 (SC2014) was held 22-24 August 2014, at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The SC2014 theme was "Inspiring Our Leaders of Tomorrow," and attendees had opportunities to attend Breakout Sessions, Learning Labs, and Ignite Sessions. The exhibit hall had over 40 exhibitors, as well as poster sessions and special student projects on display.
