Panel Discussions
Impacts of the NSF CAREER Award
June 8, Thu 2:00-3:30 pm
Panel Decription:
There are currently many good career opportunities for signal processing researchers in industry ranging from large IT and communication companies to startup firms. This panel showcases successful academic careers. The panel features five panelists that are former NSF CAREER Award winners in signal processing that received their NSF CAREER Awards from the Computer and Information System and Engineering (CISE) and Engineering (ENG) directorates. Each panelist will briefly discuss their NSF CAREER Award and how it helped them launch their academic careers. This will be followed by a Q&A session. This should be of great interest to all participants, but especially to junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
