Gujarat Chapter will receive a certificate
and a check in the amount of US$1,000
to support local Chapter activities. The
Chapter will publish an article in a future
issue of IEEE Inside Signal Processing
e-Newsletter.

SPS members receive
2017 IEEE awards
The IEEE has announced the recipients of
the 2017 IEEE medals. IEEE medals
are the highest honor of awards presented
by the IEEE. The medals will be presented at the 2017 IEEE Honors Ceremony.
Three SPS members were awarded with
IEEE medals for 2017.
The IEEE Jack S.
Kilby Signal Processing Medal awarded
for outstanding achievements in signal
processing will be
presented to Martin
Martin Vetterli
Vetterli (EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland) "for fundamental contributions to advanced sampling, signal
representations, and multirate and multiresolution signal processing."
The IEEE Alexander
Graham Bell Medal
awarded for exceptional contributions
to communications
and networking sciences and engineerH. Vincent Poor
ing, will be presented
to H. Vincent Poor (Princeton University, New Jersey) "for fundamental
contributions to signal processing and its
application to digital communications."

The IEEE Simon
Ramo Medal awarded for exceptional
achievement in systems engineering and
systems science, will
be presented to John
John Baras
Baras (University of
Maryland, College Park) "for exceptional
contributions to the conception and commercialization of Internet-over-satellite
systems, and for leadership in model-based
engineering, systems science, and engineering research."
In addition, the IEEE has announced the
recipients of Technical Field Awards for
contributions or leadership in specific
fields of interest of the IEEE. The following SPS members have received IEEE
Technical Field Awards this year.
The IEEE James L.
Flanagan Speech and
Audio Processing
Technical Field Award
will be presented to
Mark Yoffe Liberman "for pioneering
Mark Yoffe Liberman contributions to and
continued leadership in robust, replicable,
and data-driven speech and language science and engineering."

Russ Mersereau

The IEEE Fourier
Award for Signal Processing will be presented to Russ Mersereau
"for sustained technical contributions to
multidimensional digital signal processing."

The IEEE Joseph F.
Keithley Award in
Instrumentation and
Measurement was
awarded to Jerome
John Blair "for contributions to test
Jerome John Blair procedures for analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog
converters and to enhanced-accuracy gamma-ray spectrometry."
The IEEE Leon K.
Kirchmayer Graduate
Teaching Award will
be presented t o
C.-C. Jay Kuo "for
inspirational guidance of graduate stuC.-C. Jay Kuo
dents and curriculum
development in the area of multimedia
signal processing."

Takao Nishitani

John S. Thompson

The IEEE Donald O. Pederson
Award in Solid-State Circuits was
awarded to Takao Nishitani and John
S. Thompson "for pioneering real-time
programmable digital signal processor architectures."
