Edward J. Powers (S'57-M'58-SM'80-F'83) received the B.S. degree from Tufts University, Medford, MA, the M.S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, and the Ph.D. degree from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, in 1957, 1959, and 1965, respectively, all in electrical engineering.From 1959 to 1965 he was employed by Lockheed Missiles and Space Company in both Sunnyvale and Palo Alto, CA. At Lockheed his work was concerned with plasma physics and various electromagnetic aspects of reentry vehicles. In 1965 he joined the University of Texas at Austin, where he is currently the Texas Atomic Energy Research Foundation Professor and Director of the Electronics Research Center. His primary professional interests lie in the innovative application of digital higher order statistical signal processing in the analysis, interpretation, and modeling of random data characterizing nonlinear physical phenomena and systems.
