New Directions in Audio and Acoustics Research
Innovative audio and acoustics research projects are opening the door to new applications, in fields ranging from structure analysis to pharmaceutical production to medical analytics, which seemed improbable only a few years ago. At Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, engineers are listening to highway bridges during rain showers in a quest to detect hidden structural flaws. Meanwhile, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne, National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, are using sound waves to levitate individual pharmaceutical solution droplets.
MMSP-TC Dynamic Geometry Compression Competition
The Dynamic Geometry Competition is an international competition organized by the IEEE Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee (MMSP-TC), and sponsored by the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
Vince Poor, Royal Society of Edinburgh, Ben Franklin, John Anderson, connections and the Industrial Revolution
20 May 2013 was a key event in the calendar of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE). This year Vince Poor, distinguished member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Princeton, was inducted as a Corresponding Fellow of the RSE, for his distinguished contributions to communication theory, signal processing and allied fields. The election to the Fellowship also recognised his contributions to electrical engineering education through his celebrated teaching and mentoring.
