Ronald W. Schafer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ronald W. Schafer (born February 17, 1938 in Tecumseh , Nebraska ) is an American electrical engineer who deals with digital signal processing (DSP).

Schafer studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a doctorate in 1968 and then went to Bell Laboratories to do acoustics research on DSP and digital speech coding. In 1974 he moved to the Georgia Institute of Technology , where he became a professor of electrical engineering and established the Center for Signal and Image Processing . In 2005 he went to Hewlett-Packard .

He, Charles Rader and Lawrence Rabiner wrote the Chirp z-Transform (1969) in digital spectral analysis.

He was Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing and Vice President and President of the IEEE Signal Processing Society . He is an IEEE Fellow and Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America .

In 1980 he received the IEEE Emanuel R. Piore Award with Lawrence Rabiner . In 2010 he received the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal . He is a Hewlett Packard Fellow .

Schafer is the founder of Atlanta Signal Processors Inc. , a DSP software company.
