THOMAS W. PARKS,  B.E.E., M.S., Ph.D.(Cornell) - After receiving his PhD in 1967  Professor Parks joined the Electrical Engineering faculty at Rice University. In 1986 he left Rice for Cornell's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE and a recipient  of the prestigious IEEE Jack S. Kilby Gold Medal for his work on interpolation and the 'Parks-McClellan algorithm'. He has also been awarded the IEEE Third Millennium Medal, the Humboldt Foundation Senior Scientist Award, and a Senior Fulbright Fellowship. He has co-authored a number of books and papers on digital signal processing. His research interests are signal theory and digital signal processing.
