John J. Soraghan (S’83–M’84–SM’96) received the B.Eng. (Hons.) and M.Eng.Sc. degrees in electronic engineering from University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland, in 1978 and 1983, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering from the University of Southampton, Southampton, U.K., in 1989. His doctoral research focused on synthetic aperture radar processing on the distributed array processor. After graduating, he worked with the Electricity Supply Board in Ireland and with Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the U.S. In 1986, he joined the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, U.K., as a Lecturer and became a Senior Lecturer in 1990, a Reader in 2000, and a Professor in signal processing in September 2003. He was a Manager of the Scottish Transputer Centre from 1988 to 1991, Manager with the DTI Parallel Signal Processing Centre from 1991 to 1995 and Head of the ICSP from 2005-2007. He currently holds the Texas Instruments Chair in signal processing within the Centre for excellence in Signal and Image Processing (CeSIP), University of Strathclyde. His main research interests are signal processing theories, algorithms, and architectures with applications to high resolution methods for radar and acoustics, biomedical data processing, video analytics for surveillance, 3D video and condition monitoring. He has supervised over 35 PhD students to graduation, has over 300 technical publications and holds 4 patents. Professor Soraghan is a member of the IEEE Signal Processing in Education Technical Committee, a Member of the IET and a Senior Member of the IEEE.
