Richard G. Baraniuk is the Victor E. Cameron Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University. Dr. Baraniuk received a B.Sc. from the University of Manitoba in 1987 and a M.Sc. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1988. He earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992 under the supervision of Douglas L. Jones. After spending 1992-1993 at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon, France, he joined Rice University. Baraniuk has been active in the development of digital signal processing and image processing systems, with numerous contributions to the theory of wavelets and compressive sensing. His work with Kevin Kelly on the Rice "single-pixel camera" applied the ideas of compressive sensing to design a novel imaging system that was selected by Technology Review Magazine as a TR10 Top 10 Emerging Technology in 2007. Baraniuk is a founder and leader of the open education movement, which aims to share knowledge and teaching materials freely over the internet. In 1999, Baraniuk launched Connexions, one of the first initiatives to offer free, open source textbooks via the web. Connexions continues to be one of the largest and most used open education platforms worldwide. Baraniuk's own textbook, "Signals and Systems," has generated 4.5 million page views including a very popular translation into Spanish.
