Biography
Hayder Radha received the Ph.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University in 1991 and 1993, the M.S. degree from Purdue University in 1986, and the B.S. degree (with honors) from Michigan State University (MSU) in 1984 (all in electrical engineering). Currently, he is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at MSU, the Associate Chair for Research and Graduate Studies of the ECE Department, and the Director of the Wireless and Video Communications Laboratory at MSU. Professor Radha was with Philips Research (1996-2000), where he worked as a Principal Member of Research Staff and then as a Consulting Scientist in the Video Communications Research Department. He became a Philips Research Fellow in 2000. Professor Radha was a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories where he worked between 1986 and 1996 in the areas of digital communications, image processing, and broadband multimedia.
Professor Radha served as Co-Chair and Editor of the ATM and LAN Video Coding Experts Group of the International Telecommunications Union – Telecommunications Section (ITU-T) between 1994-1996. He currently serves on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia and the Journal on Advances in Multimedia. He is an elected member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Multimedia Signal Processing and the IEEE Technical Committee on Image and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IMDSP). He also served as a Guest Editor for the special issue on Network-Aware Multimedia Processing and Communications of the IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Signal Processing. Professor Radha is a recipient of the Bell Labs Distinguished Member of Technical Staff Award, the AT&T Bell Labs Ambassador Award, AT&T Circle of Excellence Award, the MSU College of Engineering Withrow Distinguished Scholar Award for outstanding contributions to engineering, and the Microsoft Research Content and Curriculum Award. He is also a recipient of National Science Foundation (NSF) Theoretical Foundation, Network Systems, and Cyber-Trust awards. His current research areas include wireless communications and networking, sensor networks, network coding, video coding, stochastic modeling of communication networks, and image and video processing. He has more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and 30 US patents in these areas.
