Bio:
Akihiko Sugiyama (a.k.a. Ken Sugiyama), affiliated with NEC Information and Media Processing Labs., has been engaged in a wide variety of research projects in signal processing such as audio coding and interference/noise control. His team developed the world's first Silicon Audio in 1994, the ancestor of iPod. He served as Chair of Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing Tech. Committee, IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS) [2011-2012], as associate editors for several journals such as IEEE Trans. SP [1994-1996], as the Secretary and a Member at Large to the Conference Board of SPS [2010-2011], as a member of the Awards Board of SPS [2015- ], and as the Chair of Japan Chapter of SPS [2010-2011]. He was a Technical Program Chair for ICASSP2012. He has contributed to 16 chapters of books and is the inventor of over 150 registered patents with more pending applications in the field of signal processing in Japan and overseas. He received 13 awards such as the 2002 IEICE Best Paper Award, the 2006 IEICE Achievement Award, and the 2013 Ichimura Industry Award. He is Fellow of IEEE and IEICE, and a Distinguished Lecturer for IEEE SPS. He is also known as a big host for a total of over 70 internship students.
Sobre a Palestra:
This lecture presents useful tips from the experiences of the lecturer as an industry engineer for three decades and as a supervisor for junior engineers and 70+ internship students. Many common problems have been identified in himself, junior engineers, and students, or near-future engineers-to-be, in the daily life of research and development. It was necessary for a supervisor to point out the same problem again and again. It could only be possible to avoid such a repeated and inefficient process by preparing a document of do’s and don’ts and having them read through it as a first step. An outcome is this lecture. It covers from daily communication with colleagues and bosses, what is good research, importance of intellectual properties, efficient paper writing, good presentation materials, fast and efficient growth, and to carrier building. Each topic is mostly accompanied by examples, and thus, should also be useful for young professionals in industry as well as those in academia. (Topics may be limited by presentation time).
