SPS Pioneers in IEEE History

Pierre Comon is currently Emeritus Research Director with CNRS. He received the Doctorate degree in 1985 from the University of Grenoble, and the Habilitation to Lead Researches in 1995, from the University of Nice, France. 

Professor Konstantinos N (Kostas) Plataniotis is the Bell Canada Endowed Chair in Multimedia and a professor with The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto (UofT) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he directs the Multimedia Laboratory.

Prof. Nikolaos (Nikos) Sidiropoulos is the Louis T. Rader Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland–College Park, in 1992.

Shrikanth (Shri) Narayanan is University Professor and Niki & C. L. Max Nikias Chair in Engineering at the University of Southern California, where he is Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Linguistics, Psychology, Neuroscience, Pediatrics, and Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, Director of the Ming Hsieh Institute and Research Director of the Information Sciences Institute. 

Prof. Rabab Ward's career includes many firsts, particularly for women in engineering and signal processing, paving the way in three continents and spanning over four decades.  This did not come easy as we discovered.  After many years of perseverance, Ward became the first woman with a Ph.D. to be appointed as professor of electrical engineering in Canada in 1981. 

Prof. Christian Jutten received Ph.D. (1981) and Doctor es Sciences (1987) degrees from Grenoble Institute of Technology, France. He was Associate Professor (1982-1989), Professor (1989-2019), and in September 2019, became Professor Emeritus at University Grenoble Alpes. 

Dr. Sanjit K. Mitra, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California, Santa Barbara, has been elected recently to the Engineering Academy of Japan (EAJ) as a foreign associate. EAJ is composed of leading experts from academia, industry, and government institutions who possess a wide range of knowledge and have made outstanding contributions in engineering and technological sciences, and closely related fields...
