Antonio Ortega received the Telecommunications Engineering degree from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain in 1989 and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University, New York, NY in 1994. His Ph.D. work was supported by the Fulbright Commission and the Ministry of Education of Spain. He joined the University of Southern California as an Assistant Professor in 1994 and is currently an Associate Professor. At USC he is a member of the Integrated Media Systems Center, an NSF Engineering Research Center, and Director of the Signal and Image Processing Institute. In 1995 he received the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award. He is a senior member of the IEEE, a member of the ACM, an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (1996-2000) and of the IEEE Signal Processing Letters. He is also a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP) and Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IMDSP) technical committees. He is currently Chair of the IMDSP committee. He received the 1997 Northrop Grumman Junior Research Award awarded by the School of Engineering at USC. In 1998 he received the Leonard G. Abraham IEEE Communications Society Prize Paper Award for the best paper published in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications in 1997, for his paper co-authored with Chi-Yuan Hsu and Amy R. Reibman. He also received the IEEE Signal Processing Society, Signal Processing Magazine Award in 1999 for a paper co-authored with Kannan Ramchandran, which appeared in the Signal Processing Magazine in November 1998. His research interests are in the area of digital image and video compression, with a focus on systems issues related to transmission over networks, application-specific compression techniques, and fault/error tolerant signal processing algorithms. |
