Sanjit Mitra Elected to National Academy of Inventors Fellow

P

rof. Sanjit K. Mitra of UC Santa Barbara was elected to National Academy of Inventors (NAI) Fellow
status. The NAI Fellows Program was established
to highlight academic inventors who have demonstrated
a prolific spirit of innovation in creating or facilitating outstanding inventions that have made a tangible impact on
quality of life, economic development and the welfare of
society. Election to NAI Fellow status is the highest professional distinction accorded solely to academic inventors.
Prof. Mitra is a Fellow of the IEEE and past CASS president. He has published more than 700 papers in the areas
of analog and digital signal processing, and image processing. He also authored and co-authored twelve books and
holds six patents. Dr. Mitra is the recipient of the 2000 IEEE
Mac Van Valkenburg award and the 2006 Education Award
of the IEEE Signal Processing Society, the IEEE Millennium
Medal in 2000, the McGraw-Hill/Jacob Millman Award of
the IEEE Education Society in 2001, the 2006 IEEE James
H. Mulligan, Jr. Education Medal, and the 2013 IEEE Gustav
Robert Kirchhoff Award. He has been awarded Honorary
Doctorate degrees from the Tampere University of Technology, Finland, the Technical University of Bucharest, Romania, and the Technical University of Iasi, Romania.
