Philip Schniter is an IEEE Senior Member and a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society and IEEE Communications Society. He currently serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Signal Processing Letters and sits on the IEEE Signal Processing for Communications and Networking (SPCOM) Technical Committee. Also, he serves as technical co-chair (with Wei Ye) of the 2008 ACM International Workshop on UnderWater Networks (WUWNet). He has recently served as the technical co-chair (with Elza Erkip) for the 2006 IEEE Communication Theory Workshop (CTW), and as a member of the technical program committees for the IEEE Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), the IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communication (SPAWC), the IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM), the IEEE Workshop on Statistical Signal Processing (SSP), and MIT Lincoln Lab's Workshop on Adaptive Sensor Array Processing (ASAP).
While pursuing his Ph.D. degree, Dr. Schniter received a Schlumberger Fellowship and an Intel Foundation Fellowship. He was awarded the 1999 Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Energy Development and Power Generation Committee for work relating to his M.S. thesis. In 2003, he received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, and, in 2005, the OSU College of Engineering Lumley Research Award. With graduate student Adam Margetts, he co-authored a paper that was a finalist in the student paper contest at the IEEE ICASSP-2005 conference. With graduate student Arun Kannu, he co-authored a paper that was a winner in the student paper contest at the IEEE SPAWC-2005 conference.
Dr. Schniter's areas of research include signal processing, communication theory, information theory, wireless sensor networks, and underwater acoustic communication. His recent sources of funding include the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, Motorola Labs, Sandia National Labs, and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
