Roman Kuc (S'75-M'77-SM'89) received the B.S.E.E. degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Columbia University, New York, NY.
He began his career at Bell Telephone Laboratories where he investigated efficient speech-coding techniques. As a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Columbia University, he applied digital signal processing to diagnostic ultrasound signals to characterize liver disease. In 1979, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University, New Haven, CT, where, as the Director of the Intelligent Sensors Laboratory, he has been pursuing research in intelligent sensors that extract information from data for applications in robotics and bioengineering. Current projects involve investigating biosonar systems, such as bats and dolphins, in order to mimic their behavior with a man-made system. He is a past chairman of the Instrumentation Section of the New York Academy of Sciences. He is the author of Introduction to Digital Signal Processing (New York: McGraw-Hill). In 1995, he began teaching EE101--The Digital Information Age, that quickly became the largest course at Yale.
