Vishal Monga  Vishal Monga is an Indian American electrical engineer, researcher and academic. He is a tenured Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. Monga’s research and educational activity lies in the area of optimization-based methods for computational imaging, image analysis and radar signal processing. He has published over 100 research papers and holds 43 patents. He is the author of the edited volume: "Handbook of Convex Optimization Methods in Imaging Science." Monga received the US National Science Foundation CAREER award in 2015 and the Ruth and Joel Spira Teaching Excellence Award in 2016. Monga received a B.Tech degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati in 2001. He then moved to the United States, where he first received M.S. in Electrical Engineering in 2003 and then Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2005, both from the University of Texas at Austin. His dissertation was entitled "Perceptually Based Methods for Robust Image Hashing." While completing his Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin, Monga briefly worked as a Visiting Researcher at Microsoft Research. In 2006, he joined the Research Staff at Xerox Research Center Webster and worked there until 2009. At the same time, he also taught at the University of Rochester as an Adjunct Faculty. In 2009, he left Xerox Research and joined Pennsylvania State University where he was endowed the Monkowski Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering. In 2015, he received tenure and promotion to the rank of Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. At the university, he also leads the Information Processing and Algorithms Laboratory. Monga has been an Associate Editor of "IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology" since 2015 and a Senior Area Editor of "IEEE Signal Processing Letters" since 2019. He was an Associate Editor of "IEEE Transactions on Image Processing" from 2009 to 2019, of "Journal of Electronic Imaging" from 2009 to 2015 and of "IEEE Signal Processing Letters" from 2015 to 2019. From 2017 to 2019, Monga was an elected member of IEEE Signal Processing Society, Image, Video and Multidimensional Signal Processing Technical Committee. In 2019, he was appointed the Lead Guest Editor of "IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing: Special Issue on Domain Enriched Learning for Medical Imaging". Monga’s research contributions are in optimization-based methods for computational imaging, image analysis and radar signal processing.
