R. Rose

Kenneth Rose received his 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, and nonconvex optimization. He is particularly interested in the application of information and estimation theoretic approaches to fundamental problems in signal processing. Recent research contributions of his group include methods for end-to-end distortion estimation in video transmission and streaming over lossy packet networks, optimal prediction in scalable video and audio coding, as well as information theoretic approaches to optimization with applications in pattern recognition, signal compression and content-based search and retrieval from high-dimensional databases. His optimization algorithms have been adopted by others in numerous disciplines beside electrical engineering and computer science, including physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, astronomy, geology, psychology, linguistics, ecology, and economics. Dr. Rose is a Fellow of the IEEE. He currently serves as an Editor of source-channel coding 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.
