Ronald W. Schafer (born February 17, 1938) is an Americanelectrical engineer notable for his contributions todigital signal processing.
After receiving his Ph.D. degree atMassachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968, he joined theAcoustics Research Department atBell Laboratories, where he did research ondigital signal processing and digitalspeech coding. In 1974 he joined theGeorgia Institute of Technology, where he became a professor in electrical engineering, until leaving to joinHewlett-Packard in March 2005.
He has served as associate editor ofIEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing and as vice-president and president of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He is a Life Fellow of theIEEE and a Fellow of theAcoustical Society of America. He is also a member of theNational Academy of Engineering in 1994 for research, teaching, and leadership in signal processing.
He has received the IEEE Region 3 Outstanding Engineer Award, the 1980IEEE Emanuel R. Piore Award,[1] the Distinguished Professor Award at theGeorgia Institute of Technology, the 1992IEEE Education Medal[2] and the 2010IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal.[3][4]
