Douglas B. Williams

Douglas B. Williams received the B.S.E.E., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Rice University, Houston, Texas, in 1984, 1987, and 1989, respectively. In 1989, he joined the faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, where he is currently an Associate Professor. There he is also affiliated with the Center for Signal and Image Processing and teaches courses in signal processing and telecommunications. Dr. Williams has served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and is a Member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society's SPTM Technical Committee. He was on the conference committee for the 1996 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing that was held in Atlanta and is currently Cochair of the 2002 IEEE DSP and Signal Processing Education Workshops. Dr.Williams was Coeditor of the Digital Signal Processing Handbook published in 1998 by CRC Press and IEEE Press. He is a Member of the Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Phi Beta Kappa Honor Societies.
