Kenneth Rose

Kenneth Rose received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Caltech in 1991. He then joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California at Santa Barbara, where he is currently a Professor. His research activities are in the areas of information theory, signal compression, source-channel coding, image/video coding and processing, pattern recognition, content-based search and retrieval, and nonconvex optimization. He is particularly interested in application of information and estimation theoretic approaches to fundamental problems in signal processing. His optimization algorithms have been adopted by others in numerous disciplines besides electrical engineering and computer science, including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, astronomy, geology, psychology, linguistics, ecology, and economics. Dr. Rose was Technical Program Cochair of the 2001 IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing, and currently serves as Area Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Communications. In 1990, he received (with A. Heiman) the William R. Bennett Prize-Paper Award from the IEEE Communications Society. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
