Robert M. Gray

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Molten Gray (born November 1, 1943 in San Diego ) is an American information theorist , especially known for his contributions to data compression , especially vector quantization .

Gray studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a bachelor's and master's degree in 1966 and received his doctorate in 1969 from the University of Southern California with Robert A. Scholtz (Information rates and autoregressive sources). In 1969 he became Assistant Professor and 1980 Professor at Stanford University , where he was director of the Information Systems Laboratory from 1984 to 1987 and Alcatel-Lucent Professor of Electrical Engineering .

In 2008 he received the Claude E. Shannon Award and the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal , the IEEE Signal Processing Society Award in 1993, the IEEE Information Theory Society's Golden Jubilee Award in 1998 , the IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000 and the Centennial Medal in 1984 of the IEEE . He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science , the National Academy of Engineering (2007) and a Fellow of the IEEE. In 1981/82 he was a Guggenheim Fellow .

From 1981 to 1983 he was editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and he was editor of Foundations and Trends in Signal Processing .
