John Wozencraft
John McReynolds Wozencraft is an electrical engineer and information theorist, professor emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. One of the pioneers of coding theory, Wozencraft developed the sequential decoding techniques for convolutional codes that made error-free communication possible with relatively low computing power.
He received his Sc.D. at MIT in 1957.[1]
In 1965, with Irwin M. Jacobs, Wozencraft co-authored Principles of Communication Engineering (ISBN 0881335541), a highly-regarded textbook which is still widely used.
In 2006, John Wozencraft was awarded the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal.
