Biography of the Keynote Speaker
Ravi Sankar is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of South Florida and Director of the Interdisciplinary Communications, Networking, and Signal Processing (iCONS) Research and Interdisciplinary Center of Excellence in Telemedicine (ICE-T) Research groups. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 1985.
His main research interests are in the areas of wireless communications, networking, and signal processing and its applications. In particular, he is interested in the resource and mobility managements of wireless cellular, ad-hoc, and sensor networks, energy-efficient design and cross-layer optimization. Furthermore he is interested in processing, coding, and recognition applications to speech, image, biomedical, and other signals and in integrating intelligent techniques including the use of neural networks and fuzzy logic in the simulation, modeling, and design of high performance and robust systems. He has published widely in these areas with more than 125 papers in journals and premier international conferences.
Dr. Sankar was the National Science Foundation (NSF) nominated short-term Invited Research Fellow of the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2000 to conduct collaborative research on wireless communications in Japan. He is on the Editorial Board of IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials and was a guest editor for the IEEE Transaction on Information Technology in Biomedicine. He has served on the organizing committees, technical program committees, and as a session organizer and chair for numerous conferences in the areas of communications and signal processing including Globecom, International Conf. on Communications (ICC), Local Computer Networks (LCN), Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), the World Multi Conf. on SCI (Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics), and the International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC).
