Kenneth E. Barner received the B.S.E.E. degree (magna cum laude) from Lehigh University, USA, in 1987. He received the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Delaware, USA, in 1989 and 1992, respectively. For his dissertation, Dr. Barner received the Allan P. Colburn Prize in Mathematical Sciences and Engineering for the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in the engineering and mathematical disciplines. He was the duPont Teaching Fellow and a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Delaware in 1991 and 1992, respectively. From 1993 to 1997, he was an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Delaware and a Research Engineer at the duPont Hospital for Children. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Delaware. Dr. Barner is the recipient of a 1999 NSF Career Award. He was the Cochair of the 2001 IEEE EURASIP Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing Workshop and a Guest Editor for a special issue of the EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing on Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing. Dr. Barner is a Member of the Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing Board and is Coeditor of the book Nonlinear Signal and Image Processing: Theory, Methods, and Applications, CRC Press, 2004. Dr. Barner was the Technical Program Cochair for ICASSP 2005 and is currently serving on the IEEE Signal Processing Theory and Methods and IEEE BioImaging and Signal Processing technical committees as well as the IEEE Delaware Bay Section Executive Committee. Dr. Barner has served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, the IEEE Transaction on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, and the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine. Dr. Barner is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Advances in Human-Computer Interaction, a Member of the Editorial Board of the EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, and is serving as a Guest Editor for that journal on an upcoming special issue on superresolution enhancement of digital video. His research interests include signal and image processing, robust signal processing, nonlinear systems, communications, human-computer interaction, haptic and tactile methods, and universal access.
