Simple Features and Simple Classifiers for Cyber-physical Systems: Applications to Seizure Detection and Prediction

Keshab Parhi has been with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, since 1988, where he was an Assistant Professor from Oct. 1988-June 1992, Associate Professor from July 1992-June 1995, and has been a Professor since July 1995. Since 2000, He has held the permanent title of "Distinguished McKnight University Professor" awarded by the Graduate School of the University. Since 1997, he has held the title of "Edgar F. Johnson Professor" awarded by the College of Science and Engineering. From July 2008 till August 2011, he served as the Director of Graduate Studies of the Electrical Engineering program. He has held short term positions in several industries such as IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (Yorktown Heights, NY), AT&T Bell Laboratories (Holmdel, NJ), NEC Corporation (Miyamae-Ku, Kawasaki, Japan), where he was a National Science Foundation Japan Fellow, Broadcom Corp., Irvine, CA, and Medtronic Corp., Minneapolis, MN. He has been a visiting Professor at Delft University (The Netherlands) and Lund University (Sweden). His research addresses VLSI architecture design and implementation of signal processing, communications and biomedical systems, error control coders and cryptography architectures, high-speed transceivers, stochastic computing, secure computing, and molecular/DNA computing. He is also working on intelligent classification of biomedical signals and images, for applications such as seizure prediction and detection, schizophrenia classification, biomarkers for mental disorders, brain connectivity, and screening of fundus and optical coherence tomography (OCT) images for ophthalmic abnormalities. He has published over 550 papers, has authored the text book VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems: Design and Implementation ( Wiley, 1999), and is the co-editor (with Takao Nishitani) of the reference book "Digital Signal Processing for Multimedia Systems" (CRC Press, March 1999). Dr. Parhi is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2013 Distinguished Alumnus Award from IIT, Kharagpur, India, 2013 Graduate/Professional Teaching Award from the University of Minnesota, 2012 Charles A. Desoer Technical Achievement award from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the 2004 F. E. Terman award from the American Society of Engineering Education, the 2003 IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Technical Field Award, the 2001 IEEE W. R. G. Baker prize paper award, and a Golden Jubilee medal from the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society in 2000. He has served on the editorial boards of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS and currently serves on the Editorial Board of the Springer Journal of Signal Processing Systems (JSPS). He has served on technical program committees of IEEE Conferences. He is a Fellow of IEEE (1996).
