Title of talk : Signal Processing, the Stealth Technology

Abstract

This talk will attempt to provide a glimpse into the future: brief previews of the “new” Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF) Division and the “new” Theoretical Foundations Clusters, and (less briefly) how, from the vantage point of the Signal Processing Systems Program, the discipline called Signal Processing appears to be evolving and why.

Short Bio

Dr. John Cozzens received a BA in mathematics from Temple University in 1966, and his PhD (also in mathematics) from Rutgers University in 1969.

Before joining NSF in 1991, he was a Lead Scientist with the MITRE Corporation in Bedford MA, where he worked in a variety of areas. These included (algebraic) coding theory, residue number system arithmetic, detection and estimation, radar signal processing, network survivability, and automatic target recognition. Before that, he taught mathematics for 11 years at the college level. During that period, his research interests included (non)commutative ring theory, homological algebra, and differential algebra.

Dr. Cozzens is currently a program director in the Theoretical Foundations (TF) Cluster that resides within the Division of Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF). In addition running the Signal Processing Systems Program, he is revisiting some earlier unfinished work on simple Noetherian rings after a twenty five-year hiatus.
