Andreas Spanias received his Ph.D. in 1988 and joined ASU as faculty the same year in the fall. He has published more than a 130 refereed journal and conference papers. He has also contributed three book chapters in speech and audio processing. Andreas Spanias has been the principal investigator on research contracts from Intel Corporation, Sandia National Labs, Motorola Inc., and Active Noise and Vibration Technologies. He has also consulted with Inter-Tel Communications, Intel Corporation, Motorola, Texas Instruments, DTC, and the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics. In his work with Intel Coproration he contributed to the development of architectures with signal processing capabilities and received an award from Intel-Chandler for "his leadership and contributions to the development of the Intel 60172 processor architecture" and a corporate award by the Intel NDTC committee for his support of the Intel research program. He recently published refereed papers in Perceptual Coding of Digital Speech and Audio, Adaptive Beamforming, Genomic Signal Processing, and DSP Java tools. He and his student team developed the computer simulation software Java-DSP (J-DSP - ISBN 0-9724984-0-0) which is used in the ASU DSP courses. He has served as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and as the general co-chair of the 1999 International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP-99). He also served as the vice president for the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) and chaired the IEEE SPS Conference Board. He and his former Ph.D. student Ted Painter received the prestigious 2002 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Paper Award for their IEEE Proceedings paper entitled "Perceptual Coding of Digital Audio." He is Fellow of the IEEE and is 2004 Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE.SPS.
