Professor Vijay K. Madisetti obtained his B. Tech (Hons) in ECE at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India in 1984, and the Ph.D in EECS at University of California Berkeley in 1989. He received the Jagadis Bose National Science Talent Search Scholarship (JBNSTS) and the General Proficiency Prize at IIT Kharagpur, and the Demetri Angelakos Outstanding Graduate Student Award from UC Berkeley, and the IEEE/ACM Ira M. Kay Memorial Paper Prize in 1989. He served as a Teaching Assistant (1984-1985), a Research Assistant (1985-1988), and as an Instructor (1989) at UC Berkeley. He served as a visiting lecturer at COPPE/UFRJ in Fall 1988. Dr. Madisetti is a Fellow of the IEEE. Dr. Madisetti joined Georgia Tech in Fall 1989 and is now a Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He has been active in the areas of digital signal processing, computer engineering, services science, system-level design methodologies & tools, and software systems, and has been a PI or co-PI in several active research programs in these areas including DARPA's Rapid Prototyping of Application Specific Signal Processors (RASSP), State of Georgia's Yamacraw Initiative, US Army's Federated Sensors Laboratory Program, and US Air Force Electronics Parts Obsolescence Initiative. He has extensive research ties to the industry, and has received an IBM Faculty Award and NSF's Research Initiation Award. Dr. Madisetti has authored, co-authored, or edited, several books, and has been an active consultant to the industry and various research laboratories (including MIT Lincoln Labs and JHU Applied Physics Laboratory), and has founded three companies in the areas of embedded software, military chipsets, and wireless communications. He was awarded the Georgia Tech's Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Advisor Award in 2001. He has supervised the PhD dissertations of over twenty engineers in the areas of DSP, communications, rapid prototyping, and system-level design methodology, of which five have resulted in thesis prizes or paper awards. Dr. Madisetti is currently engaged in two major programs at Georgia Tech. He is the Executive Director of Georgia Tech's explorative initiative in founding a Georgia Tech Campus in India. He is chairing the joint College of Engineering, College of Management, and College of Computing working group in establishing a new interdisciplinary MS/PhD in Integrated Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech. Dr. Madisetti is Editor of forthcoming 3-volume DSP Handbook set: Vol 1: Digital Signal Processing Fundamentals , Vol 2: Video, Speech, and Audio Signal Processing and Associated Standards , Vol 3: Wireless, Networking, Radar, Sensory Array Processing, and Nonlinear Signal Processing to be published in 2009 by CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL.   Recent News [0].
