Thomas W. Parks

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas W. Parks (born March 16, 1939 in Buffalo , New York ) is an American electrical engineer and professor emeritus of electrical engineering and information technology at Cornell University . He made contributions in the field of digital signal processing , especially in the field of digital filters and their design methods. In 2004 he was awarded the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal , together with James H. McClellan , for developing the Parks – McClellan algorithm .

Life

Parks graduated from electrical engineering with a bachelor's degree in 1961 and a master's degree in 1964 . He received his PhD from Cornell University in 1967. After 1967 he moved to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at Rice University in Houston with a teaching position in the emerging research area of ​​digital signal processing . In 1972, together with James McClellan, he published the Parks – McClellan algorithm, which has a significant influence on the dimensioning of digital FIR filters . From 1986 until his retirement he worked again at Cornell University.
