Simon Godsill

Professor Simon Godsill MA PhD FIET FIEEE is a University Professor of Statistical Signal Processing in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge. He heads a research team specializing in statistical signal processing, digital audio restoration, and Bayesian inference. His work addresses the processing and analysis of digital speech, audio, tracking systems, and financial datasets, with a focus on probabilistic modeling and computational methods.

Research interests include statistical signal processing, degraded signal restoration, and Bayesian computational methods. Recent publications emphasize Gaussian processes, variational inference, and multi-object tracking for applications in audio enhancement and financial data analysis. He co-founded the audio remastering company CEDAR Audio Ltd in 1988.

Scientific awards:

• Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET)
• Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (FIEEE)

Outside academia, he enjoys singing, cricket, piano/organ playing, and running. His team at Cambridge's Engineering department focuses on robust tracking algorithms and signal enhancement techniques.
