Welcome to the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) group at Rice University. The DSP group has been actively teaching courses, conducting research, and publishing results since 1968.

Five Rice DSP alums have secured Assistant Professor positions this academic year.

Mark Davenport (PhD 2011) will start at Georgia Tech the ECE Department in Fall 2012. Mark earned the Ralph Budd Thesis Award for the best thesis in the George R. Brown School of Engineering in 2011 and postdoc'ed with Emmanuel Candes at Stanford University. Mark joins Rice PhD alums Justin Romberg, Chris Rozell, James McClellan, Douglas Williams, and Rob Butera.

Arian Maleki (postdoc 2010-2012) will start at Columbia University in the Statistics Department in January 2013. He received his PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University under the supervision of Houston native David Donoho in 2010.

Esteemed and award-winning Rice DSP alum Marco Duarte has accepted an Assistant Professor position at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. A prestigious NSF IPAM Postdoctoral Fellowship at Princeton and Duke Universities enabled him to work with Prof. Robert Calderbank.

Duarte received his B.Sc. with distinction and his M.Sc. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison; he received his Ph.D. from Rice with Prof. Richard Baraniuk as advisor. He has published and presented widely, and is the co-inventor on several patents. Duarte’s areas of interest include signal, image, and data processing using sparse, compressible, and manifold signal models.

DSP alum Rui M. Castro, formerly of Columbia University, began an assistant professorship of statistics at University of Technology, Eindhoven, August 2010.

Rui's research interests are on the borderline of signal processing, learning theory and statistics. One major research focus is on active learning techniques, also known as sequential experimental design.
