Prof. José M. F. Moura is the Philip L. and Marsha Dowd University Professor at Carnegie Mellon University's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He holds a courtesy appointment in BioMedical Engineering. A member of the US National Academy of Engineering and Portugal Academy of Sciences, he is an IEEE Fellow and AAAS Fellow. His research focuses on signal processing, graph signal processing, and data science, with contributions to projects like SPIRAL and cognitive networks. He co-founded SPIRALGEN and led the CMU-Portugal Program, fostering collaboration between CMU and Portuguese institutions. Moura has received prestigious awards, including the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Medal and the 2023 IEEE Haraden Pratt Award. His work spans sensor networks, distributed algorithms, and urban science, with over 40 PhD students supervised and numerous grants from DARPA, NSF, and industry. Education: DSc (MIT, 1975), M.S./EE (MIT, 1973), Licenciado EE (Technical University of Lisbon, 1969). Research Interests: Signal processing on graphs, distributed decision systems, SPIRAL library, time reversal imaging, bioimaging, and urban science. Key projects include the DARPA-funded SPIRAL and SMART initiatives. Recent Articles: Focus on machine learning, graph signal processing, and distributed systems. Notable works include 'Natural Language Does Not Emerge Naturally' (2017) and 'SPIRAL: Extreme Performance Portability' (2018). Awards: IEEE Jack S. Kilby Medal (2023), US National Academy of Engineering membership, and multiple fellowships. Recognized for contributions to statistical and graph signal processing. Grants & Funding: Over $100M in programs like CMU-Portugal, DARPA's BRASS, and NSF grants. SPIRAL's commercialization via SPIRALGEN reflects his translational impact. Labs/Teams: Leads the Time Reversal Imaging Lab (TriLab), collaborates with CenSCIR (Critical Infrastructure Research), and directs the CMU-Portugal Program's dual degree initiatives.
