The IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) is proud to announce the 2025 class of SPS Scholarship recipients!

The SPS Scholarship Program recognizes students who have expressed interest and commitment to pursuing signal processing education and real-world career experiences. This year, 43 outstanding students were selected from a large field of more than 260 qualified applicants worldwide. The Scholarship Program will return in 2026, with applications opening in March – stay tuned for more information!

Congratulations to the 2025 SPS Scholarship awardees!

In this SPS Distinguished Industry Lecturer highlight, NVIDIA’s Morteza Mardani shares a practical, task-agnostic way to use diffusion models for image restoration and reconstruction—without retraining foundation models.
