معرفی
Jitendra K. Tugnait is the James B. Davis Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Auburn University’s College of Engineering. He has been a faculty member at Auburn since 1989 and holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
- Ph.D., Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (1978)
- E.E., Electrical Engineering, Syracuse University (1974)
- M.S., Electrical Engineering, Syracuse University (1973)
- B.Sc. (Hons.), Electronics and Electrical Communications Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, India (1971)
His primary research interests lie in Statistical Signal Processing and Machine Learning for Signal Processing, with a focus on conditional independence graphs, graphical modeling of multivariate time series and random matrices, and robust and high-dimensional statistical methods. His past work includes significant contributions to wireless physical layer security, massive MIMO, cognitive radio, and multisensor multitarget tracking.
His recent publications reflect a strong trend in developing advanced statistical and machine learning techniques for estimating sparse, high-dimensional graphical models from dependent and multi-attribute data, often employing non-convex penalties for improved accuracy. These works appear in premier journals such as IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and IEEE Open Journal of Signal Processing, as well as top conferences like ICASSP and Asilomar.
- Fellow of IEEE (1994)
- Fellow of AAIA (2021)
- IERE Benefactors Premium (1996)
- Auburn Alumni/Sigma Xi Research Award (1997)
- Auburn Alumni Engineering Council Senior Faculty Research Award (2000)
- Alumni Professorship, Auburn University (2000)
- 2002-03 Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lectureship
Prof. Tugnait has been a prolific grant recipient, serving as sole PI on numerous National Science Foundation (NSF) grants, including the current CIF: Small grant (CCF-2308473) on learning sparse vector and matrix graphs from time-dependent data. He has also served as co-PI on collaborative NSF and DoD grants. He has advised graduate students and is currently recruiting for a post-doctoral research position. His editorial service includes senior or associate editor roles for IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, and several other IEEE journals.
He is actively involved in professional service, having chaired technical programs for IEEE workshops and served on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Control Systems Society.
